Assignment on Quality Control

1. The following tables contains the measurements of the key length dimension from a fuel
injector. Ten samples of four individual observation were taken at one hour interval:

SN 1 2 3 4 5 6 TOTAL AVERAGE

1 79.20 80.50 79.60 78.90 80.50 79.70

2 78.80 78.70 79.60 79.40 79.60 80.60

3 81.00 81.00 80.40 79.70 80.40 80.50

4 80.40 80.40 80.30 79.40 80.80 80.00

5 80.10 80.10 80.80 80.60 78.80 81.10

TOTAL 399.500 400.700 400.700 398.000 400.100 401.900

MEAN 79.900 80.140 80.140 79.600 80.0200 80.380 480.180 80.030

RANGE 2.200 2.300 1.200 1.700 2.000 1.400 10.800 1.800

Using factors from table 10-2, determine upper and lower control limits for mean and range
charts, and decide if the process is in control.

MEAN CHART (XBAR CHART)
UCL Xbar + A2 * R 80.030 + 0.58 * 1.800 81.074
LCL Xbar - A2 * R 80.030 - 0.58 * 1.800 78.986

For the mean chart, compute the following: FINAL ANSWER

1. What is the total of the sample mean? 480.180
2. What is the average sample mean? 80.030
3. What is the upper control limit? 81.074
4. What is the lower control limit? 78.986
5. If the process in control? If no, indicate the sample number not in control. YES

RANGE CHART
UCL R * D4 1.800 * 2.11 3.798
LCL R * D3 1.800 * 0.00 0

For the range chart, compute the following: FINAL ANSWER

1. What is the total of the sample range? 10.800
2. What is the average sample range? 1.800
3. What is the upper control limit? 3.798
4. What is the lower control limit? 0
5. If the process in control? If no, indicate the sample number not in control. YES

2. An insurance company processes thousands of these forms each day, and due to the high
cost of inspecting each form, only a small representative sample was collected each day.
The data is shown below: (USE 4 DECIMAL PLACES)

10 300 8 0.02667
Total Defectives (TD) 91
Total observations (TO) 10 x 300 = 3,000

Proportion defectives = TD/TO = 91/3,000 = 0.03033
Standard deviation of proportion = SQRT (p*(1-p/n) = SQRT (0.03033*(1-0.03033/300) =
SQRT (0.03033 * 0.00323) = 0.00990
Upper Control Limit (UCL) = p + (z-value*SD) = 0.03033+(1.96*0.00990) = 0.04973
Lower Control Limit (LCL) = p - (z-value*SD) = 0.03033- (1.96*0.00990) = 0.01093

Answer the following: FINAL

ANSWER
1. What is the proportion defective? 0.03033
2. What is the standard deviation of the sampling distribution? 0.00990
3. What is the upper control limit? 0.04973
4. What is the lower control limit? 0.01093
5. If the process in control? If NO, indicate the sample number not in control. YES
