Problem 13-9

Resistors for electronic circuits are manufactured on a high-speed automated machine. The machine is set up to produce a large run of resistors of 1,000 ohms each. Use Exhibit 10.13.

To set up the machine and to create a control chart to be used throughout the run, 15 samples were taken with four resistors in each sample. The complete list of samples and their measured values are as follows: Use three-sigma control limits.

a. Calculate the mean and range for the above samples. (Round "Mean" to 2 decimal places and "Range" to the nearest whole number.)

b. Determine X=X= and R−R− . (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

c. Determine the UCL and LCL for a X−X− chart. (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

d. Determine the UCL and LCL for R-chart. (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required. Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

e. What comment can you make about the process?

o The process is in statistical control.

o The process is out of statistical control.

15 1013 1002 1005 992 1003 21

Mean of means xbarbar =999.1

Mean of range values Rbar =21.73

UCLxbar = xbarbar + A2*Rbar = 999.1+0.729*21.73 =1014.94

LCLxbar = xbarbar - A2*Rbar =999.1-0.729*21.73 =983.25

UCLR = D4*Rbar =2.282*21.73 =49.58

LCLR = D3*Rbar =0

Process is in control as all values are within limits
