ABC manufacturing company producing 6000 steel cylinders in one day by four different operators. The Quality Control department would like to randomly check the product in order to ensure it is meet the specifications. The required sample size, n = 600 and the operation hours for the factory is 12 hours. Illustrate the plan of the rational subgroup if the manager would like to have the sampling for every 4 hours.

Webster Chemical Company produces mastics and caulking for the construction industry. The product is blended in large mixers and then pumped into tubes and capped. Management is concerned about whether the filling process for tubes of caulking is in statistical control. The process should be centered on 8 ounces per tube. Several samples of eight tubes were taken, each tube was weighed, and the weights in Table were obtained.
