The Canine Gourmet Company produces delicious dog treats for canines with discriminating tastes. Management wants the box-filling line to be set so that the process average weight per packet is 42grams. To make sure that the process is in control, an inspector at the end of the filling line periodically selects a random box of 8packets and weighs each packet. When the process is in control, the range in the weight of each sample has averaged 6 grams. a. Design...

West Battery Corp. has recently been receiving complaints from retailers that its 9-volt batteries are not lasting as long as other name brands. James West, head of the TQM program at West's Austin plant, believes there is no problem because his batteries have had an average life of 5050 hours, about 10% longer than competitors' models. To raise the lifetime above this level would require a new level of technology not available to West. Nevertheless, he is concerned enough...
A rum producer monitors the position of its label on the bottle by sampling four bottles from each batch. One quantity measured is the distance from the bottom of the bottle neck to the top of the label. The process mean should be μ = 1.6 inches. Past experience indicates that the distance varies with σ = 0.15 inch. (a) The mean distance x for each batch sample is plotted on an x control chart. Calculate the center line and...

. The production manager at Sunny Soda, Inc., is interested in tracking the quality of the company's 12-ounce bottle filling line. The bottles must be filled within the tolerances set for this product because the dietary information on th label shows 12 ounces as the serving size. The design standard for the product calls for a fill level of 12 0.10 ounces. The manager collected the accompanying sample data n fluid ounces per bottle) on the production process. 1 Click...
