Acceptable weight range tolerance for the candy packages

Imagine that you oversee quality control for a production line in a candy company. The production line is responsible for filling 12 ounces of candy in packages labeled with weight of 12 oz.

Package weights need to be in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission and the Food and Drug Administration regulations.

Underweight packaging can cause issues with these regulatory groups and may also cause customer complaints. Overweight packages will reduce the profits and result in inaccurate costs for each package.As a quality control manager, you are to maintain the mean weight of 12 ounces as labeled on the candy packages. You are tasked with defining a quality control technique to achieve this goal. Explain why you believe that this quality control technique will help the company achieve its quality control goal.In your post,

Based on your research, identify the acceptable weight range tolerance for the candy packages (i.e., plus or minus 1 ounce). Support your decision with credible sources.

Explain in detail the quality control process you recommend.

Explain why the process will be acceptable by government regulators.

Explain how your technique would reject the out of limit packages.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
