a

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether specifications are consistent with statistical variation in sample or not.

Concept Introduction:Control charts are used to measure the effectiveness of the process determining the average value and control limits of the process. The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is the larger value and the Lower Control limit (LCL) is the smaller value of the sample

b

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Problems occur if the group attempt to use R and X¯ for this process

Concept Introduction:Control charts are used to measure the effectiveness of the process determining the average value and control limits of the process. The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is the larger value and the Lower Control limit (LCL) is the smaller value of the sample

c

Summary Introduction

Interpretation:

Percentage of the manufactured items fall outside the tolerance.

Concept Introduction:Control charts are used to measure the effectiveness of the process determining the average value and control limits of the process. The Upper Control Limit (UCL) is the larger value and the Lower Control limit (LCL) is the smaller value of the sample

A manufacturing company produces steel rods. The length of these rods is critical to their customers. The company aims to manufacture rods with a mean length of 150 cm. However, due to variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods follow a normal distribution. The company's quality control department samples 30 rods and finds that they have a mean length of 151 cm and a standard deviation of 2 cm. Calculate the Process Capability Index (Cp) and the Process Performance Index (Ppk) for this process. Assume the customer's specification limits are 147 cm and 153 cm for the length of the rods.
