Webster Chemical Company produces mastics and caulking for the construction industry. The product is blended in large mixers and then pumped into tubes and capped. Management is concerned about whether the filling process for tubes of caulking is in statistical control. The process should be centered on 8 ounces per tube. Several samples of eight tubes were taken, each tube was weighed, and the weights in Table were obtained.

Statistical Process Control

The use of statistical methods to observe and manage a process to make sure that it operates at its full potential and thus produce a confirming product is called Statistical Process Control.
