P2a. Based on the fitted Gage R&R model, the relatively small Operator variance indicates that the operators generally measure the parts similarly; therefore, differences among operators are not an important source of measurement-system variation in this study.

A stable manufacturing process is monitored using an X̄- and S-chart with subgroups of size n = 5. The following information was obtained from the Phase I study: Lower specification limit (LSL) = 49.50 mm Upper specification limit (USL) = 50.50 mm Average subgroup standard deviation, S̄ = 0.160 mm c4 = 0.9400 Calculate the potential process capability, Cp. Round your final answer to two decimal places.

A manufacturer assembles a product from several components. Each component is produced independently and meets its own specification limits. Which statement best explains why the completed assembly may still fail to meet its overall dimensional requirement?
