Five samples of size 4 were taken from a process. Summary statistics are shown below:

Sample Range Mean

1 1.75 10.5

2 2.42 22.3

3 2.75 17.4

4 2.04 20.1

5 2.80 18.9

What is the lower control limit for a range chart?

Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution:
We need to calculate Lower control limit for a range Chart which can be calculated as
LCL range chart = D3*Rbar
Here Subgroup size = 4
No. of sample n = 5
Rbar can be calculated as
Rbar = (Range)/n = (1.75+2.42+2.75+2.04+2.80)/5 = 11.76/5 = 2.352

From D3, D4 and A2 table we found at Subgroup size = 4, D3 = 0
So Lower control limit for range chart = 0*2.352 = 0

Five samples of size 4 were taken from a process. A range chart was developed that had LCLr = 0 and UCLr = 2.50. Similarly, an average chart was developed with the average range from the five samples, with LCLx = 15.0 and UCLX = 24.0. The ranges for each of the five samples were 1.75, 2.42, 2.75, 2.04, and 2.80, respectively. The values of the sample average for each sample were 19.5, 22.3, 17.4, 20.1, and 18.9, respectively.
