Control Charts for Attributes

 

Download the P-Chart-start.xlsx problem from the manf3000/labs folder on the Manufacturing network drive.  Using an Excel spreadsheet create and submit a process control chart for the problem.  Along with the required graph please answer the following questions:

1.     What probability distribution is the p-chart based on?

2.     When is an np chart typically used, rather than a p chart?

Add the document to your website along with sufficient discussion differentiating the use of control charts for variables vs. attributes.  Typical uses of each, as well as the distributions used for each.

The information below shows the count of surface nonconformities in 1000m2 of 20-kg paper. Determine the central line and control limits.  Please post the results to your web site with discussion that includes the proper application of a “c-chart”
