Statistical Process Control You've just been promoted to be the line supervisor for Ames Awesome Candies Company. Immediately, you get a call that Finance noticed a cost variance in your department. It appears that you are consuming too few ingredients for your scheduled output. A box of Special Mixed Candies is supposed to be 140 ounces, and your annual bonus is paid on how close you manage your per/unit costs. To begin analyzing the process, you ask your fill machine operator to record the weights of 9 candy cartons each hour for the next 11 hours. n 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 A2 1.880 1.023 0.729 0.577 0.483 0.419 0.373 0.337 0.308 D4 3.268 2.574 2.282 2.115 2.004 1.924 1.864 1.816 1.777 D3 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.076 0.136 0.184 0.223 Batch Range Wgt. 1 Wgt. 2 Wgt. 3 Wgt. 4 Wgt. 5 Wgt. 6 Wgt. 7 Wgt. 8 Wgt. 9 Average Length. 146.97 143.60 148.84 152.40 152.14 153.98 140.47 154.85 147.20 148.94 1 14.38 2 151.78 145.92 143.22 143.56 141.63 144.63 145.33 140.70 140.70 144.16 11.08 3 146.05 146.61 148.46 146.74 146.87 146.72 152.63 147.70 147.70 147.72 6.58 4 147.36 146.23 154.81 150.99 156 20 145.75 153.73 142.43 142.43 148.88 13.77 5 149.86 151.12 154.62 148.87 146.19 150.33 146.69 150.61 150.61 149.88 8.43 6 143.02 145.08 142.76 146.75 147.89 148.09 147.84 155.57 155.57 148.06 12.81 7 141.99 145.46 139.11 152.99 143.58 145.75 150.61 149.61 149.61 146.52 13.88 8 151.01 150.06 143.26 144.15 150.39 149.12 144.76 147.17 147.17 147.45 7.75 9 148.45 149.92 148.48 144.86 156.10 149.68 148.25 150.86 150.86 149.72 11.24 10 150.98 146.80 144.81 151.83 143.86 142.62 150.45 150.21 150.21 147.97 9.21 11 155.61 152.98 152.50 148.39 148.01 149.56 147.91 144.37 144.37 149.30 11.24 1.
