Q 1 A restaurant Manager is concerned about the

temperature of the food items being served. He never

wanted the food to be warmer than 160 degree F and cooler
than 147 degree F. He decided to do a study of the samples
for 10 days and collected three servings and recorded the
temperatures. Following is the samples and the readings

Q2. A control Chart for fraction non conforming is to be

established with the centre line at 0.07 (p=0.07).How large
the sample size should be to so as to have a non zero value
of LCL.
Q 3. A company produces micro-oven components on mass
basis. At some production point 10 samples of 100 each
were collected . They were categorized as Good or
Defective ., and the number of defectives were as
follows: 18,19,8,15,17,12,19,1, 15, 17. Construct a p chart
with 3 sigma limits and comment on the process .
Q4. A company produces chips on mass production basis.
At some production point 10 samples of 50 each were
collected and the no. of defects found were as follows:
9,10,4,9,8,6,9,8,7,5 . Construct a p chart with 3 sigma
limits and comment on the process .
Q 5. Control chart for mean and range are to be set up on
the measurements of diameter of a shaft . Samples were of
size 4. After 30 samples were taken it was found that the
mean value of dias were 7515 . The mean value of ranges
were 360. The customer wanted that the diameter of the
shafts should be within 250mm +/- 10mm. It is given that
for n=4, A2 =0.729, D3= 0, D4= 2.282.
Determine the control limits . What is the probability of
rejection by customer ?

operation is fixed at 12%. Determine the standard time for
the operation.
Q 8. ABC company purchases metal bars , for which annual
demand is 4500 units. It requires Rs 75 to place one order .
The interest cost is 18% per anum and other costs for
holding inventory is 7% per anum. The price in the market
is as below :

Unit

Price/ Rs unit

break ?
Q9. A company uses packages of plastic tapes to create
layouts . About 200 packages are consumed each year . The
supplier gives quantity discount as follows
Unit

Price/ Rs unit

1-99

processing cost is Rs 500 , what should be the
optimum order quantity?
c) If the set up time is 2 days , what is the reorder
point ?
