Chapter 6: Production planning and control
Introduction and Meaning of Production planning and control
Need for Production Planning and Control
Objectives of Production Planning and Control
Phases of Production Planning and Control
Functions of Production Planning and Control
Group Assignment #2: Solve the following Exercise 1 and 2 (10-15pt) submit only hard
copy hand written
Exercise1
Twenty samples of n =200 were taken by an operator at a workstation in a production process. The
number of defective items in each sample was recorded as follows. Management wants to develop a
p-chart using 3-sigma limit. Set up the p-chart, and plot the observations to determine if the process
was out of control at any point.

Exercise2.
A quality control inspector at the Zenith Shampoo Company has taken three samples with four
observations each of the volume of shampoo bottles filled. The data collected by the inspector and
the computed means are shown here:
Sample of Shampoo Bottle volume in ml
Sample Numbers Observations
1 2 3 4
1 19.7 19.7 19.17 18.8
2 20.6 20.2 18.7 20.2
3 18.9 18.9 21.6 19.7
4 20.8 20.7 20.0 18.0
5 19.1 18.6 17.9 19.4
6 21.0 19.5 18.3 20.6
If the standard deviation of the shampoo bottle-filling operation, from historical data, is known to be
0.2 ounces, use the information in the table to develop control chart with 3-sigma limits for the
operation.
a) Determine the center line, UCL and LCL of the X-chart.
b) Determine the center line, UCL and the LCL for the R-chart.
c) Develop an R-chart and an x bar chart for this process.
d) Is the process in control? Explain your answer.
