Problem 1
Samples of n=4 items each are taken from a manufacturing process at regular intervals. A quality characteristic is measured, and x-bar and R values are calculated for each sample. After 25 samples, we have:
X-bar = 107.5
R = 12.5
Assume that the quality characteristic is normally distributed.
a) Compute control limits for the x-bar and R control charts
b) Estimate the process mean and standard deviation
c) Assuming that the process is in control, what are the natural tolerance limits of the process?
d) If the specifications limits are 4.4 0.2. What is the process capability? Is the process capable of meeting the specifications?
e) Assuming that if any item exceeds the upper specification limit it can be reworked, and if it is below the lower specification limit, it
must be scrapped, what percent scrap and rework is the process producing?
f) If the unit cost of scrap and rework are $2.4 and $0.75, respectively, find the total daily cost of scrap and rework.
g) If a process average shifts to 4.5 mm, what is the impact on the proportion of scrap and rework produced?

a. Calculate the center lines and the upper and lower control limits for the average and
standard deviation charts for the three-sigma limits (show equations and substitution).
b. Create an x-bar and s-chart for the data provided (Use Minitab or Excel).
c. Using the rule below for out of control conditions, is the process in control, and which subgroup (s) are out of control?
Rule 1: Points outside the control limits
d. Remove any out of control points, re-calculate the control limits. What are the revised center lines and control limits?
e. Assuming that the process is in control above (even if it wasn't), what is the estimated standard deviation?
Problem 3
Construct charts for individuals using both two-period and three-period moving ranges for the following observations (in sequential order). Show the equations used for the control limits and centerline with the substitutions. You can use Minitab or Excel to build the charts.
Note: those are individual observations.
