Abstract
The objective of this technical paper was to propose an approach to determine the target mean values for mass production from the specified values suitable to statistical data available in the factory. The determination of the mean values was based on the specified values, the coefficient of variation and the chance that the values of the variable would be less than the specifications. Distribution functions and the corresponding shape parameters as well as calculation procedures were summarized for 11 functions commonly used in civil engineering. The author also developed a computer program MeanProd for calculating and summarizing mean values for all these distributions as well as showing an example to determine suitable mean values of the compressive strength of concrete.
