Steps for x- and R-Charts
1. Collect data
2. Compute the range
3. Use Table 5.1 to determine R-chart control limits
4. Plot the sample ranges. If all are in control, proceed to step 5. Otherwise, find the assignable causes, correct them, and return to step 1.
5. Calculate x for each sample
![Page 25: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
6. Use Table 5.1 to determine x-chart control limits
7. Plot the sample means. If all are in control, the process is in statistical control.
8. Continue to take samples and monitor the process. If any are out of control, find the assignable causes, correct them, and return to step 1
Steps for x- and R-Charts
![Page 26: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
EXAMPLE .1The management of West Allis Industries is concerned about the production of a special metal screw used by several of the company’s largest customers. The diameter of the screw is critical to the customers. Data from five samples appear in the accompanying table. The sample size is 4. Is the process in statistical control?
SOLUTION
Step 1: For simplicity, we use only 5 samples. In practice, more than 20 samples would be desirable. The data are shown in the following table.
Using x- and R-Charts
![Page 27: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Data for the x- and R-Charts: Observation of Screw Diameter (in.)
Observation
Sample Number 1 2 3 4 R x
1 0.5014 0.5022 0.5009 0.5027
2 0.5021 0.5041 0.5024 0.5020
3 0.5018 0.5026 0.5035 0.5023
4 0.5008 0.5034 0.5024 0.5015
5 0.5041 0.5056 0.5034 0.5047
![Page 28: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Step 2: Compute the range for each sample by subtracting the lowest value from the highest value. For example, in sample 1 the range is 0.5027 – 0.5009 = 0.0018 in. Similarly, the ranges for samples 2, 3, 4, and 5 are 0.0021, 0.0017, 0.0026, and 0.0022 in., respectively. As shown in the table, R = 0.0021.
Data for the x- and R-Charts: Observation of Screw Diameter (in.)
Observation
Sample Number 1 2 3 4 R x
1 0.5014 0.5022 0.5009 0.5027 0.0018 0.5018
2 0.5021 0.5041 0.5024 0.5020 0.0021 0.5027
3 0.5018 0.5026 0.5035 0.5023 0.0017 0.5026
4 0.5008 0.5034 0.5024 0.5015 0.0026 0.5020
5 0.5041 0.5056 0.5034 0.5047 0.0022 0.5045
Average 0.0021 0.5027
![Page 29: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Step 3: To construct the R-chart, select the appropriate constants from Table 5.1 for a sample size of 4. The control limits are
UCLR = D4R = 2.282(0.0021) = 0.00479 in.
0(0.0021) = 0 in.
Step 4: Plot the ranges on the R-chart, as shown in Figure 5.10. None of the sample ranges falls outside the control limits so the process variability is in statistical control. If any of the sample ranges fall outside of the limits, or an unusual pattern appears, we would search for the causes of the excessive variability, correct them, and repeat step 1.
LCLR = D3R =
![Page 30: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Figure 5.10 – Range Chart of x and R-Chart for the Metal Screw, Showing That the Process Variability Is in Control
![Page 31: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Step 5: Compute the mean for each sample. For example, the mean for sample 1 is
0.5014 + 0.5022 + 0.5009 + 0.50274
= 0.5018 in.
Similarly, the means of samples 2, 3, 4, and 5 are 0.5027, 0.5026, 0.5020, and 0.5045 in., respectively. As shown in the table, x = 0.5027.
![Page 32: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Step 7: Plot the sample means on the control chart, as shown in Figure 5.11.
The mean of sample 5 falls above the UCL, indicating that the process average is out of statistical control and that assignable causes must be explored, perhaps using a cause-and-effect diagram.
LCLx = x – A2R =
0.5027 + 0.729(0.0021) = 0.5042 in.
0.5027 – 0.729(0.0021) = 0.5012 in.
UCLx = x + A2R =
Step 6: Now construct the x-chart for the process average. The average screw diameter is 0.5027 in., and the average range is 0.0021 in., so use x = 0.5027, R = 0.0021, and A2 from Table 5.1 for a sample size of 4 to construct the control limits:
![Page 33: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
![Page 34: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
An Alternate Form
UCLx = x + zσx and LCLx = x – zσx
If the standard deviation of the process distribution is known, another form of the x-chart may be used:
where
σx = σ/ nσ = standard deviation of the process distributionn = sample sizex = central line of the chartz = normal deviate number
![Page 35: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Using Process Standard DeviationEXAMPLE 2
For Sunny Dale Bank the time required to serve customers at the drive-by window is an important quality factor in competing with other banks in the city. Mean time to process a customer at the peak
demand period is 5 minutes Standard deviation of 1.5 minutes Sample size of six customers Design an x-chart that z-value of 1.96
After several weeks of sampling, two successive samples came in at 3.70 and 3.68 minutes, respectively. Is the customer service process in statistical control?
![Page 36: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Using Process Standard Deviation
x = 5 minutes
σ = 1.5 minutes
n = 6 customers
z = 1.96
UCLx = x + zσ/n =
LCLx = x – zσ/n =
5.0 + 1.96(1.5)/6 = 6.20 minutes
5.0 – 1.96(1.5)/6 = 3.80 minutes
The process variability is in statistical control, so we proceed directly to the x-chart. The control limits are

Application Problem 1
Webster Chemical Company produces a specified product for the construction industry. The product is blended in large mixers and then pumped into tubes and capped.Webster is concerned whether the filling process for tubes of product is in statistical control.

Assuming that taking only 6 samples is sufficient, is the process in statistical control?
UCLR = D4R =
LCLR = D3R =
1.864(0.38) = 0.708
0.136(0.38) = 0.052
The range chart is out of control since sample 1 falls outside the UCL and sample 6 falls outside the LCL.

8.034 – 0.373(0.45) = 7.832
Now R = 0.45, x = 8.034, and n = 8
The resulting control charts indicate that the process is actually in control.

Control Charts for Attributes
• p-charts are used to control the proportion defective
• Sampling involves yes/no decisions so the underlying distribution is the binomial distribution
• The standard deviation is nppp / 1
p = the center line on the chart
UCLp = p + zσp and LCLp = p – zσp
and

Application Problem 2A sticky scale brings Webster’s attention to whether caulking tubes are being properly capped. If a significant proportion of the tubes aren’t being sealed, Webster is placing their customers in a messy situation. Tubes are packaged in large boxes of 144. Several boxes are inspected and the following numbers of leaking tubes are found:

Control Charts for Attributes• c-charts count the number of defects per unit of
service encounter
The mean of the distribution is c and the standard deviation is c
UCLc = c + zc and LCLc = c – zc

Using a c-ChartEXAMPLE 4The Woodland Paper Company produces paper for the newspaper industry. As a final step in the process, the paper passes through a machine that measures various product quality characteristics. When the paper production process is in control, it averages 20 defects per roll.
a. Set up a control chart for the number of defects per roll. For this example, use two-sigma control limits.
b. Five rolls had the following number of defects: 16, 21, 17, 22, and 24, respectively. The sixth roll, using pulp from a different supplier, had 5 defects. Is the paper production process in control?
![Page 51: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Using a c-Chart
SOLUTION
a. The average number of defects per roll is 20. Therefore
UCLc = c + zc
LCLc = c – zc
= 20 + 2(20) = 28.94
= 20 – 2(20) = 11.06
The control chart is shown in Figure 5.13

Using a c-Chart
b. Because the first five rolls had defects that fell within the control limits, the process is still in control. Five defects (sample 6), however, is less than the LCL, and therefore, the process is technically “out of control.” The control chart indicates that something good has happened.
![Page 53: quality and performance](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061104/541404728d7f728a698b47b3/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
At Webster Chemical, lumps in the caulking compound could cause difficulties in dispensing a smooth bead from the tube. Even when the process is in control, there will still be an average of 4 lumps per tube of caulk. Testing for the presence of lumps destroys the product, so Webster takes random samples. The following are results of the study:
Tube # Lumps Tube # Lumps Tube # Lumps
1 6 5 6 9 5
2 5 6 4 10 0
3 0 7 1 11 9
4 4 8 6 12 2
Determine the c-chart two-sigma upper and lower control limits for this process.
