Solved: Costello Labs supplies 500 cc bottles of treated

Elixir plasma

Costello Labs supplies 500- cc bottles of treated Elixir plasma solution to Mercy Hospital.
Several factors are important in assessing plasma quality, such as purity, absence of AIDS or
hepatitis virus, and bacterial count. The most important quality characteristic, however, is
protein concentration. Protein concentration is measured by a sophisticated electronic process
known as electrophoresis. American Medical Association (AMA) standards specify that a 500-
cc plasma bottle should contain between 30 and 35 grams of protein. Both concentrations under
and over this range may be hazardous to a patient's health. Hospital administrators have
instructed Costello Labs to straighten out its plasma production operation and to demonstrate
evidence of tighter process controls prior to the renewal of its supply contract. Costello's plasma
production equipment consists of a protein injector and a mixer that determine protein
concentration in each bottle. Process capability depends on the precision of these pieces of
equipment.

a. Suppose that the hospital and the lab have agreed that at least 98% of the plasma bottles
supplied by Costello should conform to AMA specifications

(i. e., should contain between 30 and 35 grams of protein). Determine the following:

• The precision of Costello's protein injector as measured by

• The standard deviation of the amount of protein that it must inject into each bottle in order to
produce 98% of process output within the specifications Also compute the corresponding
process capabil-ity ratio Cp.

b. Costello Labs production manager Phil Abbott wants to establish statistical process control
charts to monitor the plasma- injection process. Set up these control charts based on average
protein readings taken from randomly selected samples of 12 bottles from each batch.
