Report Assignment Quality Control

A quality control inspector at Coca-Cola analyzed twenty-five samples of bottle volumes, calculating an average volume of 15.95 ounces. Using a standard deviation of 0.14 ounces, control limits were established at 16.16 ounces for the upper control limit (UCL) and 15.74 ounces for the lower control limit (LCL). These limits are based on three standard deviations from the average volume.

TASK 2

A quality control inspector at the Coca-Cola soft drink company has taken twenty-five samples
with four observations each of the volume of bottles filled. The data and the computed means are
shown in the table. If the standard deviation of the bottling operation is 0.14 ounces, use this
information to develop control limits of three standard deviations for the bottling operation.

Total 398.75 7.17

Solution:

The centerline of the control data is the average of the samples:

398.75
X̄ =
25

X̄ = 15.95

The control limits are:

UCL = X̄ + zσ
𝑥

= 15.95 + 3 ( )
0.14
4
= 16.16

LCL = X̄ − zσ
𝑥

= 15.95 − 3 ( )
0.14
4
= 15.74
