Inspection results of video-of-the-month shipments to customers for 25
consecutive days are given in the following table. What central line and control
limits should be established and posted if it is assumed that any out of- control
points have assignable causes? The number of inspections each day is constant and
equals 1750.
Solution:
Central line limit= ΣnP/Σn
= 1147/43750
= 0.026
Trial control limits:
UCL= np +3√ np(1-p)= 65.93
CL= np= 45.88
LCL= np - 3√ np(1-p)= 25.83
10. Control charts are to be established on the manufacture of backpack frames. The
revised fraction nonconforming is 0.08. Determine control limit lines for inspection
rates of 1000 per day, 1500 per day, and 2000 per day. Draw the control chart. Why
are the control limits not spaced equally?
Solution: Inspection limit for 1000 inspection rate per day is:
UCL= p + 3√p(1-p)/n
= 0.08 + 3√0.08(1-0.08)/1000
= 0.106
Inspection limit for 1000 inspection rate per day is:
UCL= p + 3√p(1-p)/n
= 0.08 + 3√0.08(1-0.08)/1500
=0.101
Inspection limit for 1000 inspection rate per day is:
UCL= p + 3√p(1-p)/n
= 0.08 + 3√0.08(1-0.08)/2000
=0.098
11. Determine the revised central line and control limits for a percent

19. The count of surface nonconformities in 1000 m2 of 20-kg kraft paper is given in
the following table. Determine the trial central line and control limits and the
revised central line and control limits, assuming that out-of-control points have
assignable causes.
Solution:
Central line limit= ΣnP/Σn
c0 = 6.86
Trial control limits:
UCL= c +3√ c= 16.53
CL= c = 8.03
LCL= c -3√ c= -0.4= 0
CLs = 14.72, 0
24. A warehouse distribution activity has been in statistical control, and control
limits are needed for the next period. If the subgroup size is 100, the total count of
nonconformities is 835, and the number of subgroups is 22, what are the new control
limits and central line?
Solution: Central Line = sum of nonconformities / sum of inspected
Central Line = 835 x 22
=100 x 22
Central Line = 18370
2200
Central Line = 8.35
UCL = central line + 3 sqrt[central line / subgroups]
UCL = 8.35 + 3 sqrt[ 8.35 / 100 ]
UCL = 8.35 + 0.8666UCL = 9.21
LCL = central line – 3 sqrt[ central line / subgroups]
LCL = 8.35 – 3 sqrt [8.35 / 100 ]
LCL = 8.35 – 0.866
LCL = 7.48
25. Construct a control chart for the data in the table for empty bottle inspections of
a soft drink manufacturer. Assume assignable causes for any points that are out of
control.
Solution:
