Answer:
SQC helps in detecting Assignable causes.

Question 5.
Which cause of variation cannot be eliminated from the process control?
Answer:
Chance cause of variation.

Question 6.
Distinguish between a defect and a defective/what are Defects and Defectives?
Answer:

• A defect is a quality characteristic, which does not conform to specifications.
• The presence of one or more defects in a product/article is a defective.

Question 7.

Answer:
It is useful when the items are of destructive in nature.

Question 8.
Give an example for a defect & defective
Answer:
Misprints, damages in weaving on a cloth, a glass bottle with one or more bubble, excessive thickness of a glass pane, are all defects The cloth, glass bottle, glass pane are all defectives.

X̄ and R charts are used for the control of variables.

Question 10.
Name the control chart used in case of defective in S.Q.C.
Answer:
np/d-chart

Question 11.
What are process control and product control?.
Answer:

• Controlling the quality of the product during the manufacturing process itself is called process control.
• Controlling the quality of the finished products/manufactured products is called product control.

Question 12.
Mention any two uses/advantages of SQC
Answer:

• It improve the quality and to decrease the proportion of defectives
• It provides greater quality assurance at lower inspection cost.

Question 13.
What are control charts/What is a control chart?.
Answer:
Control chart is graphical device, which used to verify whether the production process is in Statistical control or not.

Question 14.
What is Acceptance-sampling / Acceptance sampling plan?
Answer:
The process of inspection of manufactured lot for acceptability is called Acceptance sampling plan

Question 15.
What do you mean by Single and Double Sampling Plans?
Answer:
In a single sampling plan, the decision about accepting or rejecting a lot is based on one sample only. Where as in a double sampling plan, the decision is based on two samples drawn from a lot.

Question 16.
Write Upper and Lower control Limits for ‘number of defects’ chart when standards are given.
Answer:
Number of defects use C-chart: U.C.L = \(\lambda^{\prime}+3 \sqrt{\lambda^{\prime}}\) L.C.L = \(\lambda^{1}-3 \sqrt{\lambda^{1}}\)

Answer:
A small amount of variation in the quality of the product for no specific cause/reason, and such variation is called chance causes.

Question 22.
What are assignable causes?
Answer:
Variation in the quality of the product due to use of substandard raw material, improper machine setting, wrong handling of machines, power variation etc., and such variations are called assignable causes.

Question 23.

In S.S.P. the lot is accepted if:
d ≤ c , where d = no. of defectives, c-acceptance number and

In D.S.P the lot is accepted if:
d₁ ≤ c₂ and (d₁ + d₂) ≤ c₂ .

Give two merits and demerits of single sampling plan and double sampling plan.
Answer:
(a) Decision and testing procedure of single sampling plan is easier than double sampling plan.
(b) Decision based on two samples is more reliable and has psychological advantage of giving the lot a second chance compared to single sampling plan.

Question 31.
Mention any two advantages and disadvantages of acceptance sampling plan.
Answer:
Advatage: When the items are of distructive in nature, it is less espensive, requires few staff as compared to 100% inspection.

The control limits for X̄ chart are (standards are not given)
C.L = X̿ = 80
L.C.L = X̿ – A₂R̄ =80-0.557 × 3.5 = 78.05
U.C.L = X̿ + A₂R̄= 80 + 0.557 × 3.5 = 81.95

Answer:
Given: X̄¹ =5.70 cms : σ¹ =0.05 cms, n=4
The 3σ – control limits for X̄ – chart (standards are given) are
C.L = X̄¹ = 5.70
L.C.L = X̄¹ – Aσ¹ =5.70 – 1,5 × 0.05 = 5.625
U.C.L = X̄¹ + Aσ¹ =5-70 + 1.5 × 0.05 = 5.775

The control limits for X̄ – chart (standards are given) are:
C.L = X̄¹ = 35.5
L.C.L = X̄¹ – Aσ¹ = 35.5 – 1.342 × 3.5 = 30.803
U.C.L = X̄¹ + Aσ¹ = 35.5 + 1.342 × 3.5 = 40.197
The control limits for R – chart are (standards are given) : d₂ = 2.326, D₁ = 0, D₂ = 4.918 (From the table)
C.L = d₂ σ¹ = 2.326 × 3.5 = 8.141

When standards are not given:
The control limits for R- chart are:
C.L = X̿ = 112.6
L.C.L = X̿ – A₂R̄ =112.6 – 0.729 × 4.2 = 109.54
U.C.L = X̿ + A₂R̄ = 112.6 + 0.729 × 4.2= 115.66
The control limits for R – chart are :
C.L = R̄ = 4.2
L.C.L =D₃R̄ = 0 × 4.2 = 0
U.C.L = D₄R̄ = 2.115 × 4.2 = 8.883

The control limits for number of defectives np/d – chart (When standards are given) are:
C.L = np¹ =8 × 0.05 = 0.4
L.C.L = np¹ – \(3 \sqrt{n p^{\prime} Q^{\prime}}\) = 8 × 0.05 – \(3 \sqrt{8 \times 0.5 \times 0.05}\) =-1.45 = 0 (Taken as 0)
U.C.L = np¹ + \(3 \sqrt{n p^{\prime} Q^{\prime}}\) = 8 × 0.05 + \(3 \sqrt{8 \times 0.5 \times 0.05}\) = 2.25

Question 6.

Answer:
Given: P¹ = 0.08, n = 150
(∴ Q¹= 1 -P¹)= 1 – 0.08 = 0.92
The control limits for np – chart are
C.L =np¹= 150 × 0.08 = 12
L.C.L = np¹ – \(3 \sqrt{n p^{\prime} Q^{\prime}}\)= 150 × 0.08 – \(3 \sqrt{150 \times 0.08 \times 0.92}\) x 0.92 = 2.032
U.C.L = np¹ + \(3 \sqrt{n p^{\prime} Q^{\prime}}\) =150 × 0.08 + \(3 \sqrt{150 \times 0.08 \times 0.92}\) =21.96 = 22

you may use the following control chart constants
For n = 4, A₂ = 0.729, D₃ = 0; D₄ = 2.282
Answer:
Here standards are not given and K = 4

The control limits for X – chart are :
C.L = X̿ = 63.75
L.C.L = X̿ – A₂R̄ = 63.75 – 0.729 × 8.5 = 57.55
U.C.L = X̿ + A₂R̄ = 63.75 + 0.729 × 8.5 = 69.55
The control limits for R – chart are:
C.L = R̄ = 8.5
L.C.L = D₃R̄ = 0 × 8.5 = 0
U.C.L = D₄R̄ =2.282 × 8.5 = 19.40

Write down an appropriate control limits
Answer:
Here Standards are not given and number of defects are given.

Answer: Given Standard is : λ¹ = 2.5
The control limits for c-chart are :
C.L = λ¹ =2.5
L.C.L = \(\lambda^{1}-3 \sqrt{\lambda^{1}}=2.5-3 \sqrt{2.5}\) = -2.24 = 0 (Taken as ‘o’. )
U.C.L = \(\lambda^{1}+3 \sqrt{\lambda^{1}}=2.5-3 \sqrt{2.5}\)= 7.24

Question 11.
In a printing industry, at regular intervals, cloth is inspected for defects in printing. If on an average 0.5 defects are expected per square metre, obtain suitable control limits.
Answer:
Given : Standard λ¹ = 0.5
The control limits for C-chart are :
C.L = λ¹ = 0.5
L.C.L = \(\lambda^{\prime}-3 \sqrt{\lambda^{\prime}}=0.5-3 \sqrt{0.5}\) = -1.62 =0 (Taken as 0)
U.C.L = \(\lambda^{\prime}-3 \sqrt{\lambda^{\prime}}=0.5+3 \sqrt{0.5}\) =2.62

Question 12.
From a soap manufacturing machine, samples consisting of 5 packed soap cakes are drawn and the following observations were recorded: X̄¹ = 75 gms ; σ¹ = 3 gms

draw X̄-chart and comment
Answer:
Given: n – 5, X̄¹ = 75 gms , σ¹ = 3 gms (Standards are given)
The X̄ – control limits are
C.L = X̄¹ = 75
L C.L = X̄¹ – Aσ¹ = 75 – 1.342 × 3S = 70.97 = 71
U.C.L = X̄¹ + Aσ¹ = 75 + 1.342 × 3 = 79.03 = 79
The X̄ – chart and the plotted points are as shown below:

Interpretation: In X̄ -chart one of the point lie outside the UCL, the process is out of control.

Question 13.
If the standards are known to be X̄₁ =20 and σ¹ = 6, construct X̄ chart for the data sample size n = 5 and A = 1.342)

Answer:
Given :n = 5, A = 1.342, X̄¹ =20, σ¹ =6
Standards are given
The control limits for X̄ chart are:
C.L = X̄¹ = 20
L.C.L = X̄¹ – Aσ¹ =20 – 1.342 × 6 = 11.948 = 11.95
U.C.L. = X̄¹ + Aσ¹ =20 + 1.342 × 6 = 23.052 = 28.05

Interpretation: All the plotted lie with in the control limits. Therefore the production process is under statistical control.

Question 14.

Answer:
Here standards are not given;

∴ q̄ =l – p̄ = 1 – 0.09 = 0.91

Find suitable control limits for the above data.
Answer:
Given n = 100, k – 12, d = defectives (standards are not given)

q̄ = 0.9683
The control limits for np/d chart are –
C.L = np̄ = 100 × 0.0317 = 3.17
L.C.L = \(n \bar{p}-3 \sqrt{n \overline{p q}}\)
= 100 × 0.0317 – \(3 \sqrt{100 \times 0.0137 \times 0.9683}\)= -2.09 (Taken as 0)
L.C.L =0
U.C.L = \(n \bar{p}+3 \sqrt{n \overline{p q}}\)= 100 x 0.0317 – \(3 \sqrt{100 \times 0.0137 \times 0.9683}\)
U.C.L =8.43 .
