  In this research some techniques for process statistical control were applied, such as frequency histograms, Pareto diagrams, process capability analysis and control charts. The purpose of this investigation was to reduce the variability of the canned tomato paste filling process coming from a tomato processing food industry that has problems with the net weight of their processed product. The results of the process capability analysis showed that 35.52% of the observations were out of the specifications during the months in study, which generates a real capability of the process (Cpk) of 0.124, and it indicates that the process does not have enough ability to fulfill the required specifications by the firm. The process potential capability (Cp) is 0.676. Given that Cpk < Cp, then it is concluded that the process is not centered, indicati.. Read More»
