Listed below arc the cloths produced on a daily basis in a small textile mill and the
corresponding number of imperfeclions found in their bales is as follows.
(a) Use the data to estimate U.
(b) Dclennine the control limits and plot the data
(c) What value ofU would you recommend for the future period.

a. Draw the control limits based on the previous data and comment.
b. Analyze these data as a preliminary run of data, checked for control.
c. Suggest au-bar value for subsequent data.
Determination of UCL and LCL for the U chart based on the probability limits.
!_ A control chart for defects per unit (U} uses the probability limits corresponding to the
probabilities of0.975 and 0.025 instead of that corresponding to Z=3 (i.e instead of the
traditional 3a limits). The control line on the control chart is at U= 2. The limits vary with
the value ofn. Dctennine the correct position of UCL and LCL when n = 5.
A control chart for defects per units (U) uses the probability limits corresponding to the
probabilities of 0.95 and 0.55. At U= 1.5, the limits vary with the value of n. Detennine
the correct position of UCL and LCL when the sample size n = 8.
