a.
The diagram is shown below. The blue line represents the specifications across the x axis. The y axis will represent the variation in number of a particular specification.
b.
The process capability equation is
Cp = (USL – LSL)/(6*standard deviation)
Cp = (1102.5-1097.5)/(6*0.6) = 1.38
c.
The upper sided index equation is
CpU = (USL – mean)/(3*standard deviation)
CpU = (1102-1101.2)/(3*0.6) = 0.44
d.
The lower sided index equation is
CpL = (mean – LSL)/(3*standard deviation)
CpL = (1101.2-1097.5)/(3*0.6) = 2.05
e.
The process capability index equation is
Minimum of (CpU, CpL)
The value is CpU and the value is
Cpk = 0.44
f.
Among the four indexes, the closely watched one is the Cpk. This is because Cp measures only the variation but not the possibility that the variation is not centered. On the other hand Cpk measures the centering of the process to check how many units will likely be out of specifications.
g.
If I was the buyer, I would tell the manufacturer that the process is skewed and will likely breach the lower specification. As a result, they need to improve the Cpk value to at least 1.

QUESTION 25 (10 points) ‐ Process Capability Indexes A ball bearing design for wheel assemblies used in giant mining dump trucks requires the inner diameter to have a lower specification unit (LSL) of 1,097.50 mm and an upper specification unit (USL) of 1,102.50 mm. A simple random sample of 270 finished ball bearings, which were produced by an approximately normally distributed process, has the sample average of 1101.20 mm and the sample standard deviation of 0.60 mm. A too small...
