control strategies for promotions

This week you have learned about

process control. You have had the opportunity to learn about the various charts

and statistical tools that can be used in order to control a process. Assume

that you are a part of the quality assurance team for a pharmaceutical company

that is about to release a new medication to control blood pressure. The

quality assurance department is torn as to what method should be used in

process control. Half of your department feel s-charts should be used and the

other half of the department feel x-Bar charts should be used. Our discussion

will be in the format of a debate this week. If your last name begins A-L, you

will be for using x-Bar charts. If your last name begins M-Z, you will be for

using s-Charts. Be sure to use your course materials and outside research to

support your reply.

Your initial response should be a minimum of 150 words. Your work should be in

your own words and should include research to support your response. Be sure to

avoid Wikipedia as a resource as this is not a reliable source. Include your

resources at the end of your response. Once you have completed your response,

you will want to respond to at least two (2) of your classmates responses.

Please remember that your responses to your classmates should be substantive

and should promote additional discussion within the classroom. Simple “I agree”

responses will not be counted towards your participation grade.
