Question:
Refer to the manufacture of a rheostat knob, Exercise 16.7. To monitor the process mean, five knobs from each hour’s production were randomly sampled and the distance from the back of the knob to the far side of a pin hole was measured on each. The measurements (in inches) for the first 27 hours the process was in operation are shown in the table below.
a. Construct an x̅-chart for the process.
b. Locate the center line, upper control limit, and lower control limit on the x̅-chart.
c. Does the process appear to be in control?
Data from Exercise 16.7
A rheostat knob, produced by plastic molding, contains a metal insert. The fit of this knob into its assembly is determined by the distance from the back of the knob to the far side of a pin hole. To monitor the molding operation, one knob from each hour’s production was randomly sampled and the dimension measured on each. The next table (p. 896) gives the distance measurements (in inches) for the first 27 hours the process was in operation.
