Problem # 1 Control charts for X̅ and R are maintained on the outside diameter of a shaft.
The subgroup size is 04. After 20 subgroups ∑ X̅ = 43.75 and ∑R = 0.286. The specification
of the product is 2.15±0.02 unit. Products falling above and below the specification limit
are rejected. The process is statistical controlled and normally distributed. Find the control
limits for X̅ and R charts, Process capability, RPI of the process and % rejection. How to
reduce the % of rejection if any?
Universe or Total Production
For sample 1,
X̅1 = (x1+ x2+ x3 +x4)/4
1 For sample 2,
X̅2 = (x1+ x2+ x3 +x4)/4
……..
For sample 20,
X̅20 = (x1+ x2+ x3 +x4)/4
Hence, ∑ X̅ = X̅1 + X̅2+ ……. + X̅20
For sample 1,
R 1 = x1 - x 4
For sample 2
R 2 = x3 - x 4
…..
R20= x2- x1
Hence, ∑R = R1 + R2 + R3+….. +R20
Lets Remember few things before going for solution !!!!
Solution:
For R Chart
Here, R̅ = ∑R/m = 0.0143
at n = 04; D3=0 and D4 = 2.282
UCLR = 0.0326
LCLR = 0
UCLR = 0.0326
R̅ = 0.0143
LCLR
0
