Effect diagram.

1. Control Charts for attributes (8 marks)

• p – chart - used for process control of defectives when it is not possible to
take a sample of constant sample size because the sizes of samples are varying with
time.

• np – chart - the sample size is constant, and the data values plotted are the
actual number of defectives per sample or subgroup denoted by np.

• u – chart - used for process control for defects when it is not possible to take a
sample of constant sample size. deals with the number of nonconformities per item
within the sample.

• c – chart - used for process control of defects when it is possible to take

samples at constant sample size.

4 charts with explanation – 2 marks each - Total – 8 marks

2. Taguchi’s experimental design method (7 marks)
• Define the Problem
• Determine the Objective
• Conduct a Brainstorming Session
• Design the Experiment
• Analyze the Data
• Interpret the Results
• Run a Confirmatory Experiment
7 steps with explanation – 1 mark each - Total 7 marks
