 Anomalies
12th,14th day out of acceptable range.
Possible Reasons:
Single customer placing bulk orders.
Shortage of staff.
Miscommunication in ordering process.
Customer indecision. ( change or additions in order)

Q) Determine if your control chart can be implemented on continual basis
or if the additional observations need to be collected?
Short term - Yes
Using the given data
( Process Capability Ratio)- 1.12
Long Term -
( Process Capability Index)- 0.44
Defects will be generated
Gaps
Only six observations per day
Time of observation unknown
Special offer days also included- inconsistency in days
Q) What other statistical Process Control chart Dave Burger might
use?
Ans. Range(R) Chart
R CHART
Why R-Chart cannot be used ?

Depends on Range i.e.,

Maximum service time Minimum service time

For example:
A) 3 - 1 min = 2 min
B) 6 - 4 min =2 min
There is no way to determine the reduction in service time.
 RECOMMENDATIONS

To increase service time:

Automated Point of service
More staffs on special rush days
Pre-ordering app
Assembly Belt
Within reach ingredients
