standards.
After installing the capital equipment, William takes a random sample from the first batch of freshly baked chocolate brownies and carefully weighs each chocolate brownie. The average weight of her sample is 3.0 ounces and the sample standard deviation is 0.06 ounces.
After gathering the data and performing the necessary calculations, William determines: (a) the center line of the control chart should be 3.0 ounces and, for process control purposes, (b) the maximum acceptable weight of a chocolate brownie should be 3.18 ounces, which is the UCL of the control chart and (c) the minimum acceptable weight of a chocolate brownie should be 2.82 ounces, which is the LCL of the control chart.
Alas, an in-process quality audit of a batch of chocolate brownies uncovers a chocolate brownie that weighs 2.75 ounces!
William is terribly upset, as the process is not in-control. However, William knows you are taking a course; a course that includes the seven tools of quality control integrated within one of this week's text chapters.
Assist the proprietor by responding to the following:
Identify at least two (2) quality control tools you would you recommend as the next-steps she should take to get her production process back in control.
For each tool, offer a specific explanation/example as to how the tool could be used to help get the process back into control.
