51 The number of workmanship nonconformities observed in the final inspection of disk-drive

7.54 The manufacturer wishes to set up a control chart at the final inspection station for a gas
water heater. Defects in workmanship and visual quality features are checked in this inspection.
For the past 22 working days, 176 water heaters were inspected and a total of 924
nonconformities reported.
(a) What type of control chart would you recommend here and how would you use it? C-Chart.

 (b) Using two water heaters as the inspection unit, calculate the center line and control limits
that are consistent with the past 22 days of inspection data.

7.56 A control chart is to be established on a process producing refrigerators. The inspection unit
is one refrigerator, and a common chart for nonconformities is to be used. As preliminary data,
16 nonconformities were counted in inspecting 30 refrigerators.

(a) What are the three-sigma control limits?

(b) What is the a-risk for this control chart?

(c) What is the b-risk if the average number of defects is actually two (i.e., if c = 2.0)?

(d) Find the average run length if the average number of defects is actually two.

7.57 Consider the situation described in Exercise 7.56.

(a) Find two-sigma control limits and compare these with the control limits found in part (a) of
Exercise 7.56.

(b) Find the a-risk for the control chart with two sigma control limits and compare with the
results of part (b) of Exercise 7.56.

(c) Find the b-risk for c = 2.0 for the chart with two sigma control limits and compare with the
results of part (c) of Exercise 7.56.

(d) Find the ARL if c = 2.0 and compare with the ARL found in part (d) of Exercise 7.56.

7.60 A production line assembles electric clocks. The average number of nonconformities per
clock is estimated to be 0.75. The quality engineer wishes to establish a c chart for this
operation, using an inspection unit of six clocks. Find the three-sigma limits for this chart.
