Question:

An early example of SPC was described in Industrial Quality Control [€œThe Introduction of Quality Control at Colonial Radio Corporation€ (1944, Vol. 1(1), pp. 4€“9)]. The following are the fractions defective of shaft and washer assemblies during the month of April in samples of n = 1500 each:


Fraction Defective Fraction Defective Sample Sample 1 0.11 11 0.03 0.06 12 0.03 0.1 13 0.04 0.11 4 14 0.07 0.14 15 0.04


(a) Set up a P chart for this process. Is this process in statistical control?

(b) Suppose that instead of n = 1500, n = 100. Use the data given to set up a P chart for this process. Revise the control limits if necessary. 

(c) Compare your control limits for the P charts in parts (a) and (b). Explain why they differ. Also, explain why your assessment about statistical control differs for the two sizes of n.
