The following information is given:

Day Mean (MM) Range (MM)
1 156.9 4.2
2 153.2 4.6
3 153.6 4.1
4 155.5 5
5 156.6 4.5

Determine the value of x¯¯ :

Day Mean (MM)
1 156.9
2 153.2
3 153.6
4 155.5
5 156.6
Total 775.8

Calculate the x¯¯ :

It is calculated by dividing the sum of mean values and the number of days.

x¯¯=Sum of meanNumber of days=156.9+153.2+153.6+155.5+156.65==775.85=155.16

Hence, the value of x¯¯ is 155.16mm.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information is given:

Day Mean (MM) Range (MM)
1 156.9 4.2
2 153.2 4.6
3 153.6 4.1
4 155.5 5

Determine the value of R¯ :

Day Range (MM)
1 4.2
2 4.6
3 4.1
4 5
5 4.5
Total 22.4

Calculate the R¯ :

It is calculated by dividing the sum of mean values and the number of days.

R¯=Sum of rangeNumber of days=4.2+4.6+4.1+5.0+4.55=22.45=4.48

Hence, the value of R¯ is 4.48mm.

Answer to Problem 7P

Hence, the value of UCL is 156.54mm and LCL is 153.78mm.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information is given:

Day Mean (MM) Range (MM)
1 156.9 4.2
2 153.2 4.6
3 153.6 4.1
4 155.5 5
5 156.6 4.5

Determine the UCL and LCL of x¯ :

Formulae to determine Upper Control Limit and Lower Control Limit are given as follows:

UCLx¯=x¯¯+A2×R¯

LCLx¯=x¯¯A2×R¯

Here, the overall mean is x¯¯=155.16mm , the average range is R¯=4.48mm and A2 is the Mean factor derived from standard tables showing factors for computing control charts.

Given the sample size of 10, the Mean factor A2=0.308 for σ=3 (refer table S6.1).

Substitute the values in the given formulae:

Upper control limit can be calculated by adding the multiple of average range and mean factor with the overall mean.

UCLx¯=x¯¯+A2×R¯=155.16+0.308×4.48=156.54mm

Lower control limit can be calculated by subtracting the multiple of average range and mean factor from the overall mean.

LCLx¯=x¯¯A2×R¯=155.160.308×4.48=153.78mm

Hence, upper control limit is 156.54mm and 153.78mm.

Answer to Problem 7P

Hence, the value of UCL is 7.96mm and LCL is 0.999mm.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information is given:

Day Mean (MM) Range (MM)
1 156.9 4.2
2 153.2 4.6
3 153.6 4.1
4 155.5 5
5 156.6 4.5

Determine the UCL and LCL of R¯ :

Formulae to determine Upper Control Limit and Lower Control Limit are given as follows:

UCLR=D4×R¯

LCLR=D3×R¯

Here, the average range is R¯=4.48mm and D3 is the lower range factor and D4 is the upper range factor.

Given the sample size of 10 for σ=3 , the Lower range factor D3=0.223 and the Upper range factor D4=1.777 (refer table S6.1).

Substitute the values in the given formulae:

Upper control limit can be calculated by multiplying upper range factor and average range.

UCLR=D4×R¯=1.777×4.48mm=7.96mm

Upper control limit can be calculated by multiplying lower range factor and average range.

LCLR=D3×R¯=0.223×4.48mm=0.999mm

Hence, upper control limit is 7.96mm and 0.999mm.

Answer to Problem 7P

Hence, the value of UCL is 156.38mm and LCL is 153.62mm.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information is given:

Day Mean (MM) Range (MM)
1 156.9 4.2
2 153.2 4.6
3 153.6 4.1
4 155.5 5
5 156.6 4.5

Given the target value of the diameter μ=155mm , calculate the upper control limits UCLx¯ and LCLx¯ using the formula

UCLx¯=μ+A2×R¯

LCLx¯=μA2×R¯

Here,

The target value of the diameter μ=155mm , the average range R¯=4.48mm and A2 is the Mean factor derived from standard tables showing factors for computing control charts.

Given the sample size of 10, the Mean factor A2=0.308 for σ=3 (refer table S6.1).

Substitute the values in the given formulae:

Upper control limit can be calculated by adding the multiple of average range and mean factor with the overall mean.

UCLx¯=μ+A2×R¯=155+0.308×4.48=156.38mm

Lower control limit can be calculated by subtracting the multiple of average range and mean factor from the overall mean.

LCLx¯=μA2×R¯=1550.308×4.48=153.62mm

Hence, for the x¯ chart, the upper control limit is UCLx¯=156.38mm and the lower control limit is LCLx¯=153.62mm .
