Control Charts

Q1 A manufacturer of automotive transmission systems produces a component whose diameter


is a critical dimension for quality Samples are drawn during every shift from the processes
producing the component Every time a sample of five components is drawn, the diameter is
measured Fifteen such measurements are taken during every shift Table below presents the
readings(in cm) take during one shift Set up relevant control charts and examine if the process is
in control

Q2 A manufacturer of hair oil has an automated process consisting of a filling machine for filling
the 200-ml bottles and a sealing unit. After filling the bottle, it is automatically sealed with a
metallic cap. To monitor the quality of the process, sample of size 5 are drawn periodically from
the process and the quantity filled is measured. Table below has data on 12 such observations.
