Question 2

A production facility produces 75 units per hour and uses an x chart to monitor its quality. The control limits are seat at 2.5 standard errors from the mean. On average, how many units will be produced until the control chart signals that the process is out of control, when it is in fact under control?

Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Since P = P ( z > 2.5) = .0124, then ARL = 1/P = 1/.024 81 samples should be taken.
Number of units = 75 units per sample 81 samples = 6,075 units.
