The temperature control unit on a commercial freezer in a 24-hour grocery store is set to maintain a mean temperature of 23 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature varies because people are constantly opening the freezer door to remove items, but the thermostat is capable of maintaining a temperature with a standard deviation of 2 degrees Fahrenheit. The desired range is 18 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit. Find the Cpk capability indexes

The capability index of the freezer control unit is 0.83.

How to find capability index

The capability index is given by:

[tex]C_{pk}=\frac{Z_{min}}{3} \\\\Z_{upper}=\frac{USL-Mean}{Standard\ deviation} \\\\Z_{lower}=\frac{Mean-LSL}{Standard\ deviation} \\\\From\ the\ question,mean=23,USL=30,LSL=18,deviation=2, hence:\\\\Z_{upper}=\frac{30-23}{2}=3.5 \\\\Z_{lower}=\frac{23-18}{2}=2.5 \\\\Z_{min}=2.5\\\\Hence:\\\\C_{pk}=\frac{2.5}{3} =0.83[/tex]

The capability index of the freezer control unit is 0.83.
