Guidelines for Assessment of PRS (15 marks) Component
Subject Code: ME-404, Course Title: Industrial Engineering

1. Out of 15 marks, assessment of 10 marks may be based on practical exercises conducted

in laboboraty and/or conducted through online submission.
2. Remaining 05 marks assessment may be based on online viva-voce through Skype/Google
meeting/Whatsapp video calling or any other online mode.
3. Some of the practical exercised are given for reference. These exercises need to be solved
using the theatrical principles and also results to be verified using any available softwares.
4. A pdf file containing scanned images of working and screen shot of each window of the
software based solution to be submitted through e-mail.

Practical Exercises
Note: To attempt the following exercises, variable data point is to be decoded with the help
following description.
X= H+T+U and R=HTU, where H, T and U are hundreds, tens and units place digits
respectively of your Roll number’s last three digits.

Determine the control limits for x bar chart and R- chart and draw these charts. Also, comment on
the process. Take A2=0.729, D3=0 and D4 =2.282 for n= 4.
Exercise-III:

A nationwide mail order house desires to verify the accuracy of its clerical work in completing
invoices. Subgroups of 200 are taken each day for 30 consecutive days for inspection. A defective
is defined as an invoice containing at last one of a number of possible errors. The numbers of
defectives found in each of these 30 groups are as follows:

2 4 3 5 9 5 9 1 4 8
8 P 5 T 7 4 4 7 P T

The distribution for failure behavior of each component is depicted by the alphabet used in each
component i.e. E for Exponential, W for Weibull, N for Normal and LN for Log Normal.
Distribution parameters to be used are as follows:
