This document contains 4 questions regarding statistical process control charts. Q1 involves establishing X-bar and R charts from given data and calculating in-control and out-of-control metrics. Q2 involves determining process capability and nonconforming fraction. Q3 involves setting up X-bar and R charts from additional data and calculating nonconforming percentages under different scenarios. Q4 similarly involves setting up control charts, identifying shifts, and calculating nonconforming percentages with changes to the process mean and standard deviation.

HOME ASSIGNMENT

Q1. The CO2 content of a beverage should be monitoring hourly. Samples of five consecutive
bottles are drawn from the line each hour and the CO2 value is obtained for each bottle. The data
for fifteen samples are shown below:

x 7.1 6.5 6.6 7.1 6.5


R 0.7 0.6 0.6 1.2 0.9
x 6.9 7.0 6.7 6.9 6.9
R 1.1 0.3 0.8 0.4 0.7
x 6.7 6.9 6.7 7.0 6.9
R 0.8 0.8 1.0 1.0 0.6

1. Establish the x and R charts.


2. Determine the in-control ARL0 and ATS.
3. If the sample size is reduced from 5 to 3, what are the new control limits on x and R charts?
4. Suppose the process mean increases 1 in value, determine the out-of-control ARL1 and ATS
for sample sizes of 5 and 3, respectively.

Q2. In the above problem, assume that the CO2 content follows normal distribution and that
process specification limits are set at LSL  6g/l; USL  8g/l

1. Determine process capability ratio.


2. Determine the fraction of nonconforming bottles.

Q3. The following data are based on 22 samples, each with n  6

Sample X R Sample X R
1 259 16 12 262 11
2 270 21 13 266 32
3 249 17 14 247 19

11 259 28 22 270 25

a. Set up the X and R charts. If an out-of-control condition exists, assume that assignable
causes can be found. Revise the control limits if necessary.
b. If the specifications are (240,280), find the percentage of nonconforming items.
c. If we can easily change the process average in order to reduce the fraction nonconforming,
what would be the appropriate value of process mean?
d. If the process average suddenly shifts to 284, what would happen to the percentage
nonconforming?

e. In part (d), find the probability of catching the shift on the first sample following the shift ( 
remains the same)
f. In part (d), how many samples would be needed to have a chance of at least 0.99 of catching
the shift on at least one of these samples.

Q4. Given the following data of 30 samples, each with n  5

15 203 26 30 199 30

g. Using data from the first 20 samples, set up the X and R charts, assuming that any out-of-
control points have assignable causes.
h. Plot the last 10 samples on the control chart previously developed. Does the process
continue to be in control?
i. If the specifications are (175, 230), what proportion of production fails to meet
specifications?
j. If the process mean shifts to 205 and the standard deviation of the process increases by 10%,
what will be the percentage of nonconforming products?
k. In part (d), if the standard deviation does not increase by 10%, let find the probability of
catching the change in process mean on the next three samples following the change.
l. In part (e), on average, how many samples are needed to detect the change in process mean?
