6. In a company that is dedicated to the production of galvanized piping, the length of the
tubes are given by L=2000R (mm) and their thickness is 1.5 mm. The tubes present a
volume of 127,234.5 mm3. The company considers that one of the characteristics of
the most relevant quality for the customer is the length of the tubes. For this reason, he decides
implement a statistical process control program with this characteristic of
quality with sample size 5. The mean of the X bar chart is 5.94m and the
The average of the R chart is 0.81m. The control chart shows a level of
90% confidence. The galvanized pipe manufacturing market has the
following specifications (L ± 0.20m) for the length of the pipes. The cost of
the production of each tube is 5,500um. According to company policy for each tube that
complies with the specifications, a profit of 35% is obtained on the cost of
production. The tubes that do not meet the specifications due to the upper limit
are cut, losing 1200um from the selling price. For each tube that does not comply
With the specifications for the lower limit, a profit of only 25% is obtained.
