SPC Problem

A quality analyst wants to create a sample mean chart to control a packaging process based on weight data from last week. The process standard deviation is 2 ounces. The summary calculates sample means, the mean of sample means, and control limits of ±2σ. It is not stated if the process is in control. A small amusement park collects daily data on out-of-state license plates and is asked to calculate the overall proportion, standard deviation of proportions, and control limits to determine if the process is in control. A shipyard wants to develop control charts based on flaw data from steel plates to determine if their plate quality process is in control. Specification limits are calculated for a plastic liner process with a thickness of 6.0

A quality analyst wants to construct a sample mean chart for controlling a packaging process. He knows from past experience that the process standard deviation is two ounces. Each day last week, he randomly selected four packages and weighed each. The data from that activity appears below. Weight Package 2 Package 3 22 23 21 19 19 20 19 20 20 22

Day Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday

Package 1 23 23 20 18 18

Package 4 24 21 21 19 20

(a) Calculate all sample means and the mean of all sample means. (b) Calculate upper and lower control limits that allow 2 for natural variations. (c) Is this process in control? 2. A small, independent amusement park collects data on the number of cars with out-of-state license plates. The sample size is fixed at n=25 each day. Data from the previous 10 days indicate the following number of out-of-state license plates: Out-of-state Plates 6 4 5 7 8 3 4 5 3 11

Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

(a) Calculate the overall proportion of "tourists" (cars with out-of-state plates) and the standard deviation of proportions. (b) Using 3 limits, calculate the LCL and UCL for these data. (c) Is the process under control? Explain. 3. McDaniel Shipyards wants to develop control charts to assess the quality of its steel plate. They take ten sheets of 1" steel plate and compute the number of cosmetic flaws on each roll. Each sheet is 20' by 100'. Based on the following data, develop limits for the control chart, plot the control chart, and determine whether the process is in control. Number of Sheet flaws 1 1 2 1 3 2

The specification for a plastic liner for concrete highway projects calls for a thickness of 6.0 mm 0.1 mm. The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.02 mm. What are the upper and lower specification limits for this product? The process is known to operate at a mean thickness of 6.03 mm. What is the Cp and Cpk for this process?
