Question
In a production process, eight samples of size 4 are collected and their means and ranges are given below. Construct mean chart and range chart with control limits.
| Samples number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 |
| `bar"X"` | 12 | 13 | 11 | 12 | 14 | 13 | 16 | 15 |
| R | 2 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 3 |

Solution
| Samples number | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | Total |
| `bar"X"` | 12 | 13 | 11 | 12 | 14 | 13 | 16 | 15 | 106 |
| R | 2 | 5 | 4 | 2 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 3 | 25 |
Let us A2 = 0.73 and D4 = 2.282 and D3 = 0
The control limits for `bar"X"` chart is
`\overset{==}{"X"} = (sum"X")/"No. of samples" = 106/8` = 13.25
`bar"R" = (sum"R")/"No. of samples" = 25/8` = 3.125 = 3.12
UCL = `\overset{==}{"X"} - "A"_2 bar"R"`
= 13.25 + (0.73) (3.12)
= 13.25 + 2.2776 = 15.5276
= 15.53
CL = `\overset{==}{"X"}` = 13.25
LCL = `\overset{==}{"X"} - "A"_2 bar"R"`
= 13.25 – (0.73) (3.12)
= 13.25 – 2.2776 = 10.972
= 10.97
The control limits for Range chart is
UCL = `"D"_4 bar"R"`
= 2.28(3.12) = 7.11984
= 7.12
CL = `bar"R"` = 3.12
LCL = `"D"_3bar"R"` = 0(3.12) = 0
| UCL | CL | LCL | |
| Mean Chart | 15.53 | 13.25 | 10.97 |
| Range Chart | 7.13 | 3.125 | 0 |
