A process is in statistical control with x ̅ = 39.7 and R ̅ = 2.5. The control chart uses a sample size of n = 2. Specifications are at 40 ± 5. The quality characteristic is normally distributed.
Estimate the potential capability of the process.
Estimate the actual process capability.
How much improvement could be made in process performance if the mean could be centered at the nominal value?

We use statistical process control charts to get a better handle
on the variation in our data. These tools make the process
performance visible; determine if the improvement is significant;
and determine if the improvement is maintained over time. For this
assignment, we will explore a run chart. Discuss what a run chart
is. What type of data can be used with this tool? What are the
steps used to analyze a run chart? Identify and discuss the four

An x̅ chart with a sample size of 4 is used to control the mean
of a normally distributed quality characteristic. It is known that
process standard deviation is 8. The upper and lower control limits
of the chart are 147 and 123 respectively. Assume the process mean
shifts to 121.
What is the probability that this shift is detected on the first
subsequent sample?
What is expected number of samples taken before the shift is
detected?

Honda uses statistical process control to monitor and improve a
variety of processes. Employees collect data, and then analyze it
using statistical process control charts. They can make adjustments
if needed. The statistical process control charts enable workers to
understand precisely how processes are working and anticipate
problems before they occur. One interesting use is in monitoring
the effort required to close a door. Honda monitors the speed of
the door required to make it latch by using a special...
