- we have seen various methods to set control limits for control charts. Which method would you prefer and why?arrow_forwardIn process industry during a daily production run, a total of five (05) samples are collected with four (04) observations within each sample. The sample means (X-bar) are; 14.09, 13.94,16.86, 20.00, and 16.64 respectively. The corresponding ranges are; 9.90, 7.73, 4.41, 7.56, and 3.49 respectively. The lower and upper control limits of the x-bar chart are respectively O a. 11.44, 20.66 O b. 11.29, 20.65 C. None is correct Od. 11.47, 21.14 e. 11.47, 16.55arrow_forwardWhen most processes are sampled for control chart purposes, why aren't they in statistical control?arrow_forward

Six samples of n = 20 observations have been obtained and the sample means and ranges computed:arrow_forwardWhy is it important to prove that a process is proven capable before developing statistical control limits (i.e., SPC charts)?arrow_forwardSolve in a normal method (no excel please ).

- The Digital Guardian Company issues policies that protect clients from downtime costs due to computer system failures. It is very important to process the policies quickly because long cycle times not only put the client at risk, they could also lose business for Digital Guardian. Management is concerned that customer service is degrading because of long cycle times, measured in days. The table contains the data from five samples, each sample consisting of eight random observations. E Click the icon to view the table with sample data. Click the icon to view the table of factors for calculating three-sigma limits for the x-chart and R-chart. a. What is your estimate of the process average? The estimate of the process average is 10.43. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) b. What is your estimate of the average range? The estimate of the average range is . (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)arrow_forwardIn an existing process, we have found that the lower control limit for X-bar chart is 8.08. Whereas, the lower and upper control limits for R-chart are 0 to 2.25 respectively. The following measurements for one sample are taken: 8.5, 8.9, 8.28, and 8.7. Using both the X-bar chart and R- chart for this particular sample, what we can conclude about the overall process a. Insufficient information to conclude b. Process is in-control C. Perfect process d. Process is out-of-control.arrow_forwardThe inner diameter of piston rings follows a normal distribution with mean 75mm and variance =9. The sample size is 5, X-bar chart is established. If L =2, what is the type I error rate when process is in-control? If we change the control limits to UCL = 78.354, and LCL = 71.646, what is Type I error rate?arrow_forward
