| NAME (PRINTED): | | | | | | Signature: |
| The specification range for these resistors is from 38 to 62 ohms, with a target of 50 ohms. |
| What is the Process Potential Cp based on these data? | | | | | Show how you calculated it! |
| What is the Process Performance Cpk based on these data? | | | | | Show how you calculated it! |
| As the Quality Engineer responsible for this line, would you recommend 100% testing? Explain your answer in less than 25 words. |
| Soon after setting up these control charts, you get a sequence of mean data thus: |
| Resistance (ohms) | 53 | 47 | 49 | 52 | 55 | 56 | 58 | 59 | 60 | 58 |
| Describe your approach, and explain your reason(s), after getting these data: Use less than 25 words. |
