Review the Stooges Raw Data (attached)

After reading the case information, analyze and interpret the data provided. Establish a state of statistical control, and evaluate the capability of the process to meet specifications. Consider the following questions:

1. What do the initial control charts tell you?
2. If the process is not in control, what may be the likely causes?
3. What corrective action could you take based upon the information provided?
4. What is the process capability?
5. Is Stooges facing a serious problem that needs to be addressed?
6. If 10,000 mallets are selected at random, how many are expected to not meet customer specifications?

Your submission for this case analysis should be at least 3 pages in length (excluding the title and references pages). Be sure to use appropriate line spaces between each question, so that your work is organized and easy to follow.

Analysis of the Stooges Enterprises
Introduction
Stooges make wooden mallets for business and residential applications. The company contracted
as a supplier to Slapsticks, Inc., a main retailer in the main cities through the upper Midwest. Due to the
substantial volume of demand, Stooges needs to grow its assembling operation to three shifts and to
increase the labor force. Not long after Stooges began mallets to Slapsticks, it started receiving
complaints about mallet head diameter. This issue was to some degree disturbing to Stooges hence the
statistical exercise will assist in establishing the statistical control and will evaluate the capacity of the
process to achieve the desired outcome.
Analysis of Sample Data
The data given in the case is taken from the five consecutive mallet head dimensions for a 10 day
period from each shift. Since the total numbers of observations are 150, therefore, we can see a variation
in the given data as the data is collected from the manufacturing of mallets. According to Chase
Processes that provide goods & services generally shows variation in the output (2006).
After looking at the charts in the case we can conclude that there is variation in the data. The
variation normally interpreted as it’s the disparity between the expected and achieved results while in
the given scenario it is the difference between the assumed production and in the actual production of
the mallet being produced.
For further case analysis, there is a need to calculate the mean and standard deviation of the
given data.

Statistical calculations
The information from the case is used to calculate the statistical data which is presented below.
