Question: Workers at a packaging operation shovels a granular product from a large pile into sacks that are then sealed and placed on pallets for shipping. A sequence of 25 subgroups each consisting of the weights of 5 sacks has been recorded as follows:

a- What is the appropriate control chart that can be used by the quality engineer in this case?

b- Determine the control limits (show your calculations)

c- Construct the appropriate control chart for the data above using MINITAB.

d- Is the process in-control? If not, when does the out-of-control behavior occur?

e- If the process is found to be out of control, drop the out-of-control points and use MINITAB to re-construct the control chart.

f- Is the process now in-control? If not, what to do next?
