There are six wires which need to be attached to a circuitboard. A robotic device will attach the wires. The wires can beattached in any order, and the production manager wishes todetermine which order would be fastest for the robot to use.Use the multiplication rule of counting to determine thenumber of possible sequences of assembly that must betested. (Hint: There are six choices for the first wire, five for thesecond wire, four for the third wire, etc.)

An assembly sequence refers to the particular way in which components or parts are assembled to form…

Two years ago Top-Slice Company moved from just making golf balls to also producing oversized drivers. Top-Slice makes three different models: the Bomber, the Hook King, and the Sir Slice-A-Lot. As the names suggest, the last two clubs help correct for golfers who either hook or slice the ball when driving. While Top-Slice is pleased with the growing sales for all three models (see the following tables), the numbers present Jacob Lee, the production manager, with a dilemma. Jacob knows that the current manufacturing work cell is capable of producing only 2,700 drivers a month, and total sales seem to be rapidly approaching that number. Jacob’s staff has told him it will take at least three months to plan for and implement an expanded work cell. Develop a forecast for Top-Slice Company. Which forecast model works best? Why? Suppose information is received that makes clear that sales are expected to go down. How would this affect the choice of a forecasting model?

You are the manager of a small company (with only three employees), and you want to implement six sigma. The owner or the president is not familiar with six sigma and does not know how to select the appropriate project. There is no budget to hire an outside MBB. The other two employees have a working knowledge of the processes but have no idea about the lean six-sigma methodology and do not know anything about statistics. You are the only one familiar with six sigma. How are you going to distribute the roles of the Six Sigma belts?
