Solution
The term Quality means a level or standard of a product which depends Material, Manpower, Machines, and Management (4M’s).
Quality Control ensures the quality specifications all along them from the arrival of raw materials through each of their processing to the final delivery of goods.
Quality Control is a powerful technique used to diagnose the lack of quality in any of the raw materials, processes, machines etc.
It is essential that the end products should possess the qualities that the consumer expects from the manufacturer.

Write the control limits for the mean chart
A machine is set to deliver packets of a given weight. Ten samples of size five each were recorded. Below are given relevant data:
| Sample number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| `bar"X"` | 15 | 17 | 15 | 18 | 17 | 14 | 18 | 15 | 1 | 16 |
| R | 7 | 7 | 4 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 12 | 4 | 11 | 5 |
Calculate the control limits for mean chart and the range chart and then comment on the state of control, (conversion factors for n = 5, A2 = 0.58, D3 = 0 and D4 = 2.115)
Ten samples each of size five are drawn at regular intervals from a manufacturing process. The sample means `(bar"X")` and their ranges (R) are given below:
| Sample number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| `bar"X"` | 49 | 45 | 48 | 53 | 39 | 47 | 46 | 39 | 51 | 45 |
| R | 7 | 5 | 7 | 9 | 5 | 8 | 8 | 6 | 7 | 6 |
Calculate the control limits in respect of `bar"X"` chart. (Given A2 = 0.58, D3 = 0 and D4 = 2.115) Comment on the state of control
