In preparation for this week's paper, let's step back to Technical Note 8 - Process Capability and Statistical Quality Control
1. Start by walking through Example TN8.3
2. Using data in Technical Note 8, Problem 6:

What are the controls limits for a X-bar chart? (upper and lower limit (UCL & LCL) - be sure to show your calculations. What are control limits uses?

Problem 6
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. 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:

Develop an _X chart and an R chart and plot the values. From the charts, what comments can you make about the process?

SAMPLE NO. READINGS (IN OHMS)
1 1010 991 985 986
2 995 996 1009 994
3 990 1003 1015 1008

Solution Summary

The solution is in an attached spreadsheet.

It contains these important things:

1] A textbox in the upper right with comments on calculating control limits, the interpretation of the control limits of this data set.

2] Note how the pasted in data on the top right and how each sample contributes to the average (x-bar), range and control limit columns to the left. Look at the Excel formulas in each cell.

3] Note the use in the formulas of "$"-notation to use the same A_2, D_3, and D_4 values for each sample and produces a column of identical control limit values.

4] Graphs are set up to read the appopriate columns on the top middle of the spreadsheet.
