An automobile manufacturer wishes to monitor the number of nonconformities in a subassembly area producing manual transmissions. The inspection unit is defined as four transmissions, and data from 16 samples (each of size 4) are shown in Table 7E.11. a. Set up a control chart for nonconformities per unit. A u chart of average number of nonconformities per unit is appropriate, with n = 4 transmissions in each inspection. b. Do these data come from a controlled process? If not, assume that assignable causes can be found for all out-of-control points and calculate the revised control chart parameters. Draw x-bar control chart and R chart c. Suppose the inspection unit is redefined as eight transmissions. Design an appropriate control chart for monitoring future production
The data in Table 7E.3 give the number of nonconforming bearing and seal assemblies in samples of size 100. Construct a fraction nonconforming control chart for these data. If any points plot out of control, assume that assignable causes can be found and determine the revised control limits.
