A manufacturing process is in-control and centered. A critical quality characteristic is normally distributed with a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of 2. The DPMO of the process is 318.
(1) What is the upper specification limit for the characteristic?
(2) The daily production rate is 1000 parts. How many parts per day would you expect to have a dimension less than 21 but greater the 19.5?
(3) A 3-sigma Xbar chart based on a sample of size 4 is monitoring the process. What is the probability that the chart signals if the process mean shifts to 24?
1) for DPMO =318 ; p value in tail area =318/106 =0.000318 ; for which corresponding z =3.6
hence upper specification limit for the characteristic =mean+z*std deviation =20+3.6*2=27.2
2)
for normal distribution z score =(X-μ)/σx | |
here mean= μ= | 20 |
std deviation =σ= | 2.0000 |
probability = | P(19.5<X<21) | = | P(-0.25<Z<0.5)= | 0.6915-0.4013= | 0.2902 |
expected parts dimension less than 21 but greater the 19.5 =np=1000*0.2902=290
3)probability that the chart signals if the process mean shifts to 24 =P(Xbar>26)=P(Z>(26-24)*sqrt(4)/2)=P(Z>2)=0.0228

A “4.5 Sigma” level process is normally distributed, and its mean is centered at the specification target. The lower and upper specifications are mapped to +/- 4.5 standard deviations from the mean. If the process mean shifts up by 1.5 standard deviations, what is the expected number of defects per million opportunities?
A control chart is used for monitoring a process meanl (X) that is normally distributed with a mean of μ and a standard deviation of σχ , and the sample size is n-5. А 3-sigma limit (μ ±30% ) is used as control limits. Two decision rules are given here. Rule 1: If one or more of the next seven samples yield values of the sample average that fall outside the control limits, conclude that the process is out of...
A control chart is used for monitoring a process mean ( 7 ) that is normally distributed with a mean of u and a standard deviation of o, and the sample size is n = 5. A 3-sigma limit (u +30z) is used as control limits. Two decision rules are given here. Rule 1: If one or more of the next seven samples yield values of the sample average that fall outside the control limits, conclude that the process is...
Samples ofn-6 items each are taken from a manufacturing process at regular intervals. A normally distributed quality characteristic is measured, and X and S values are calculated for each sample. After 50 samples, we have 50 50 X, = 1000 S,-75 and a) Compute the control limits for the Xand S control charts. b) Assume that all points on both control charts plot within the control limits computed in part (a). What are the natural tolerance limits of the process?...
When a process is in control, a variable can be taken to be normally distributed with mean of µ0 = 80 and standard deviation of σ = 10. A control chart is to be implemented by plotting the average of n = 16 observations at each time point. Using the formula µ0 ± 3σ/√ n, we have obtained an upper control limit of 87.5 and a lower control limit of 72.5. Suppose the mean of the variable now shifts to...
I will rate 4. Suppose that a quality characteristic is normally distributed with specification limits (1.64, 1.84). The process standard deviation is 0.1. Suppose that the process mean is 1.71 (a) Determine the natural tolerance limits. (6 pts) (b) Calculate the fraction defective. (6 pts) (c) Calculate the appropriate process capability ratio. (8 pts)
An chart with three-sigma limits has parameters as follows: Suppose the process quality characteristic being controlled is normally distributed with a true mean of 98 and a standard deviation of 8. What is the probability that the control chart would exhibit lack of control by at least the third point plotted?

Two decision rules are given here. Assume they apply to a normally distributed quality characteristic, the control chart has three-sigma control limits, and the sample size is n=5. Rule 1: If one or more of the next seven samples yield values of the sample average that fall outside the control limits, conclude that the process is out of control. Rule 2: If all of the next seven sample averages fall on the same side of the center line, conclude that...
