Problem 27E

An article in Journal of the Operational Research Society [“A Quality Control Approach for Monitoring Inventory Stock Levels,” (1993, pp. 1115–1127)] reported on a control chart to monitor the accuracy of an inventory management system. Inventory accuracy at time t, ACt◊, is defined as the difference between the recorded and actual inventory (in absolute value) divided by the recorded inventory. Consequently, ACt◊◊ranges between 0 and 1 with lower values better. Extracted data are shown in the following table.

(a) Calculate individuals and moving-range charts for these data.

(b) Comment on the control of the process. If necessary, assume that assignable causes can be found, eliminate suspect points, and revise the control limits.
