Pareto solution The following table shows the defects identified in the final inspection, during a month, in the soft drink bottles, as well as the number of times these have occurred.
The smallest defect in a computer chip will render the entire chip worthless. Therefore, tight quality control measures must be established to monitor these chips. In the past, the percent defective at Chieh Lee's Computer Chips has been 1.5%. The sample size is 1,000. Determine upper and lower control chart limits for these computer chips. Use z = 3. Upper Control Limit (UCL) = (round your response to four decimal places). Lower Control Limit (LCLp) = (round your response to four decimal places).

Why would companies have quality programs even though they cost money to implement?
Assume the specifications for a part (in inches) are 8.00 ± 0.37, and the Taguchi loss function is estimated to be L(x) = 8,000(x − T)2. Use the Excel template Taguchi to determine the estimated loss if the quality characteristic under study takes on a value of 8.54 inches. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
