The document discusses using control charts to monitor manufacturing processes. It provides examples of setting up X-bar and R charts using sample data and evaluating whether the processes are in statistical control. Key points covered include: - Setting control limits for X-bar and R charts using preliminary sample data - Impact on X-bar chart limits if R chart shows samples out of control - Importance of establishing control on the R chart first when using X-bar and R charts - Examples of setting up X-bar and R charts and evaluating control using provided data - Calculating process capability if specifications are given

Assignment 7

6.1 A manufacturer of components for automobile transmissions wants to


use control charts to monitor a process producing a shaft. The resulting
data from 20 samples of 4 shaft. The resulting data from 20 samples
of 4 shaft diameters that have been measured are:
20
X 20
X
x̄i = 10.275, Ri = 1.012
i=1 i=1

a. Find the control limits that should be used on x̄ and R control


charts.
b. Assume that the 20 preliminary samples plot in control on both
charts. Estimate the process mean and standard deviation.

6.2 Reconsider the situation described in Exercise 6.1. Suppose that several
of the preliminary 20 samples plot out of control on the R chart. Does
this have any impact on the reliability of the control limits on the x̄
chart?

6.3 Discuss why it is important to establish control on the R chart first


when using x̄ and R control charts to bring a process into statistical
control.

6.4 The data shown in Table 6E.1 are x̄ and R values for 24 samples of size
n = 5 taken from a process producing bearings. The measurements are
made on the inside diameter of the bearing, with only the last three
decimals recorded (i.e., 34.5 should be 0.50345)

a. Set up x̄ and R charts on this process. Does the process seeem


to be in statistical control? If necessary, revise the trial control
limits.
b. If specifications on this diameter are 0.5030 ± 0.0010, find the
percentage of nonconforming bearings produced by this process.
Assume that diameter is normally distributed.

6.5 The data shown in Table 6E.2 are the deviations from nominal diameter
for holes drilled in a carbon-fiber composite material used in aerospace
manufacturing. The values reported are deviations from nominal in
ten-thousandths of an inch.

(a) set up x̄ and R charts on the process. Is the process in statistical


control?

1
(b) Estimate process standard deviation using the range method.
(c) If specifications are at nominal ±100, what can you say about the
capability of this process? Calculate the PCR Cp .
