The smallest defect in a computer chip will render the entire chip worthless. Therefore, tight quality control measures
must be established to monitor these chips. In the past, the percent defective at Chieh Lee's Computer Chips has been
1.5%. The sample size is 1,000. Determine upper and lower control chart limits for these computer chips. Use z = 3.
Upper Control Limit (UCL) =
(round your response to four decimal places).
Lower Control Limit (LCLp) =
(round your response to four decimal places).
Five data entry operators work at the data process-ing department of the Birmingham Bank. Each day for 30 days,
the number of defective records in a sample of 250 records typedby these operators has been noted, as follows:
a) Establish 3s upper and lower control limits.b) Why can the lower control limit not be a negative number?
c) The industry standards for the upper and lower control lim-its are 0.10 and 0.01, respectively. What does this imply about
Birmingham Bank’s own standards?
A manufacturer uses statistical process control to control the quality of the firm's products. Samples of 50 of Product A are taken, and a defective/acceptable decision is made on each unit sampled. For Product B, the number of flaws per unit is counted. What type(s) of control charts should be used?
Select one:
a. c-chart for A, mean and range charts for B
b. p-chart for A , mean and range charts for B
c. c-chart for both A and B
d. p-chart for A, c-chart for B
e. p-charts for both A and B
