XBAR-R CHART

Back-up Theory

Let there be n measurements on a quality characteristic taken at k equally-spaced intervals. Let xij represent the jth measurement at the ith interval, i = 1, 2, …., k and j = 1, 2, …., k.

The Xbar part of Xbar-R Chart has:

Central line: CL = Xdouble bar

Lower Control Limit: LCL = Xdouble bar – A2Rbar

Upper Control Limit: UCL = Xdouble bar + A2Rbar;

The R part of Xbar-R Chart has:

Central line: CL = Rbar

Lower Control Limit: LCL = D3Rbar

Upper Control Limit: UCL = D4Rbar, where

Xdouble bar = (1/k)(i = 1, k)xibar, xibar = (1/n)(i = 1, n)xij

Rbar = (1/k)(i = 1, k)Ri, Ri = Max(xij) - min(xij)

A2, D3, D4 are constants which can be directly obtained from standard Control Chart Constants Table.

By visual examination all Xibar and Ri’s are found to be within the respective control limits. Hence, the process is under control. ANSWER

Part 5.26(b)

The following points are found to be out of respective limits:

Points 4, 11, 14 – xbar is out of control.

Points 5, 6, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15 – R is out of control. ANSWER
