greater with every day of production. This clearly shows that the standard material holds up better during the manufacturing process compared to that of the super plastic during production (Reid & Sanders‚ 2011). The old process shows that the process is in control because the sample data falls within the normal variation range. The super plastic is not in control because the cause for the variation can not be identified. Those causes can not be eliminated until the cause of the variation is known. Control

The latter results in a greater pollution consist of 75 percent of plastic. The amounts of plastic waste end up largely in rivers that flow again to oceans and seas. The quantity of plastic that finally floats in oceans is called the plastic soup. In order to maintain a responsible ecosystem‚ we should decrease
