Abstract
A business setting requires the practice of quality control to develop reliability, increase productivity and consumer consummation. The level of a lower control limit and an upper control limit in biscuit manufacturing and packing are considered. A total of 58000 biscuit packets are produced. Each week, 725 packets are inspected. Out of that number, 455 packets are defective. An inspection of certain randomly selected completed products will be conducted every week in this study.
