DAY 1 2 3 45 6 78 9 10 11 12 13 14 4 11 15 89 6 5 14 13 7 6 4 2 10 Number of complaints a. Determine three-sigma control limits using the above data. (Round your intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places and final answers to 3 decimal places. Leave no cells blank -be certain to enter " wherever required. Round up any negative control limit value to zero.) UCL LCL b. is the process in control? Yes No Hints References eBook& Resources Check my work

Explanation / Answer

Nmumber of days = 14

Sum of complaints = 4+11+15+8+9+6+5+14+13+7+6+4+2+10 = 114

C-bar = Sum of complaints / Number of days = 114/14 = 8.1429

Using a three sigma control limit,the value of Z = 3

UCL = C-bar + [Z(Sqrt of C-bar)]

= 8.1429 + [3(Sqrt of 8.1429)]

= 8.1429 + (3X2.8536)

= 8.1429 + 8.5608

= 16.704

LCL = C-bar - [Z(Sqrt of C-bar)]

= 8.1429 - [3(Sqrt of 8.1429)]

= 8.1429 - (3X2.8536)

= 8.1429 - 8.5608

= - 0.425

= 0 (as when the LCL is less than zero,it is considered as zero)

The process is in control because the number of complaints lies between the upper control limit i.e 16.704 and the lower control limit i.e 0
