CHAPTER 22 STATISTICAL PROCESS CONTROL SECTIONS 1 - 2 MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS In the following multiple-choice questions, please circle the correct answer. 1. Which of the following situations suggests a process that appears to be operating out of statistical control? A control chart with a series of consecutive points that are above the center line and a series of consecutive points that are below the center line A control chart in which points fall outside the lower control limit A control chart in which several points fall outside the upper control limit All of the above ANSWER: d 2. A process is said to be out of control if a point falls above the upper or below the lower control limits a run of 8 of more points is observed either (a) or (b) neither (a) nor (b) ANSWER: c 3. When there is an increase in the process distribution standard deviation, the result is referred to as: a trend a cycle a level shift instability ANSWER: d 4. Variations in process output that are caused by specific events or factors that are frequently temporary such as machine malfunction are: assignable causes chance causes out of control causes All of the above ANSWER: a 5. Variations in process output that are caused by a number of randomly occurring events that are part of the production process are: assignable causes chance causes out of control causes All of the above ANSWER: b 6. When the only sources of variation in a production process are caused by chance, the process is said to be: under control out of control out of balance both (b) and (c) since they are the same ANSWER: a 7. In statistical process control (SPC), a Type I error occurs if we conclude that the process is: under control when in fact it is not out of control when in fact it is not under control when this is really true out of control when this is really true ANSWER: b 8. Variation signaled by individual fluctuations or patterns in the data is called special or assignable var
