Project 4-1
Toyota mechanical parts
Report the Toyota cars case (project 2-2),
2-2) and:
1 - Determine the probability that the product
fall outside the specifications limits.
T=8Kgf/cm
LSL=7 Kgf/cm
USL=9Kgf/cm
2 - Discuss the results and comment on the
opportunities for improvement of the process.

Project 4-2
RM Concrete Processes
The compressive strength of samples of
concrete can be modeled by a normal
di t ib ti
distribution
with
ith a mean off 60 MPa
MP and
d a
standard deviation of 1 MPa.
(a) What is the probability that a samples
strength is less than 62.5 MPa?
(b) What is the probability that a sample
samples
s
strength is between 58.0 and 59.0 MPa?
(c) What strength is exceeded by 95% of
th samples?
the
l ?

Project 4-3
RM Concrete Processes
Take the data of the compressive strength
of the RMC35 (project 2-1); Assume that
h di

distribution
t ib ti can b
be modeled
d l db
by a normall
distribution.
From the data determine the mean and the
standard deviation and then determine:
(a) What is the probability that a samples
strength is less than 35 MPa?
(b) What is the probability that a samples
strength is between 40.0 and 50.0 MPa?
( ) What

by 95% off
the samples?

Project 4-4
Comparing 2 Processes
In a manufacturing plant there are two production lines
(processes); Samples of 60 parts from each line have been
drawn and the quality characteristic recorded. (Tables A
and
d B)
B).
The design specifications are : (1500.5) mm
(a) Compare between the two production lines (A) and (B):

Descriptive statistics for the two lines.

Draw the histograms for the two lines and draw the

specification limits on them.

(b) What are the possible causes that would lead to the
variations
