C 2 Is Being Used For Receiving Inspection. Rejected Lots Are Screened, and All Defective Items

A supplier ships components in lots of 5000. A sampling plan with a sample size of 50 and acceptance number of 2 is used for inspection. Rejected lots are reworked. Management wants to change the acceptance number to 0, but this may not be consistent with their zero-defects program. Another plan is designed with an acceptance number of 0 that has a 90% probability of rejecting lots of a certain quality level. The probabilities of rejecting lots that are 0.5% nonconforming are compared between the two plans.

15.11. Suppose that a supplier ships components in lots of size 5000. A single-sampling plan
with n 50 and
c 2 is being used for receiving inspection. Rejected lots are screened, and all defective items
are
reworked and returned to the lot.
(a) Draw the OC curve for this plan.
(b) Find the level of lot quality that will be rejected 90% of the time.
(c) Management has objected to the use of the above sampling procedure and wants to use a
plan with
an acceptance number c 0, arguing that this is more consistent with their zero-defects
program.
What do you think of this?
(d) Design a single-sampling plan with c 0 that will give a 0.90 probability of rejection of lots
having the quality level found in part (b). Note that the two plans are now matched at the LTPD
point. Draw the OC curve for this plan and compare it to the one for n 50, c 2 in part (a).
(e) Suppose that incoming lots are 0.5% nonconforming. What is the probability of rejecting
these lots under both plans? Calculate the ATI at this point for both plans. Which plan do you
prefer?
Why?

15.12. Draw the primary and supplementary OC curves for a double-sampling plan with n1 50,
c1 2, n2 
100, c2 6. If the incoming lots have fraction nonconforming p 0.05, what is the probability of
acceptance on the first sample? What is the probability of final acceptance? Calculate the
probability of
rejection on the first sample.

8.19. A company has been asked by an important customer to demonstrate that its process
capability ratio Cp
^

exceeds 1.33. It has taken a sample of 50 parts and obtained the point estimate
C p =1.52 .
Assume that the
quality characteristic follows a normal distribution. Can the company demonstrate that Cp
exceeds 1.33

5.18. Consider the control chart shown here. Does the pattern appear random?

5.24. Consider the time-varying process behavior show below. Match each of these several
patterns [figures (a) to (e)] of process performance to the corresponding and charts [shown in
figures (1) to (5)] to below.

9.1. The data in Table 9E.1 represent individual observations on molecular weight taken hourly
from a chemical process. The target value of molecular weight is 1050 and the process standard
deviation is thought to be about σ 25.
(a) Set up a tabular cusum for the mean of this process. Design the cusum to quickly detect a
shift of
about 1.0 σ in the process mean.
(b) Also add a headstart feature to the cusum

10.4. Printed circuit boards used in several different avionics devices are 100% tested for
defects. The batch size for each board type is relatively small, and management wishes to
establish SPC using a short-run
version of the c chart. Defect data from the last two weeks of production are shown in Table
10E.3. What
chart would you recommend? Set up the chart and examine the process for control.

10.8. The x-bar and R values for 20 samples of size five are shown in Table 10E.6. Specifications
on this product have been established as 0.550 0.02.
(a) Construct a modified control chart with α=0.0013, assuming that if the true process
fraction nonconforming is as large as 1%, the process is unacceptable.
(b) Suppose that if the true process fraction nonconforming is as large as 1%, we would like an
acceptance control chart to detect this out-of control condition with probability 0.90.
Construct this acceptance control chart, and compare it to the chart obtained in part (a).

11.2. A product has three quality characteristics. The nominal values of these quality
characteristics and their
sample covariance matrix have been determined from the analysis of 30 preliminary samples of
size
n 10 as follows:
The sample means for each quality characteristic for 15 additional samples of size n 10 are
shown in
Table 11E.2. Is the process in statistical control?
