A car company modifies 375 cars per year. The manager is interested in obtaining
a measure of overall performance. He has asked you to provide him with a multifactor
measure of last year's performance as a benchmark for future comparison.
You have assembled the following data.
Resource inputs were labour, 10,000 hours; 500 kilowatt-hours of energy. Average
labour cost last year was €20 per hour, kits cost €1,000 each and energy costs were
€3 per kilowatt-hour.
What do you tell the manager?

George Kyparisis makes bowling balls in his Miami plant. With recent increases in his costs, he has a newfound
interest in efficiency. George is interested in determining the productivity of his organization. He would like to know if
his organization is maintaining the manufacturing average of a 3% increase in productivity. He has the following data
representing a month from last year and an equivalent month this year:
Units Produced
Labor (hours)
Resin (pounds)
Capital Invested ($)
Energy (BTU)
Last Year

- Red Baron Airlines serves hundreds of cities each day, butcompetition is increasing from smaller companies affiliatedwith major carriers. One of the key competitive priorities ison-time arrivals and departures. Red Baron defines on time as any arrival or departure that takes place within 15 minutesof the scheduled time. To stay on top of the market, man-agement set the high standard of 98 percent on-time per-formance. The operations department was put in charge ofmonitoring the performance of the airline. Each week, a ran-dom sample of 300 flight arrivals and departures was checkedfor schedule performance. Table 3.6 contains the numbersof arrivals and departures over the last 30 weeks that did notmeet Red Baron’s definition of on-time service. Using three-sigma control limits based on 98 percent on time arrivalsor departures, what can you tell the management about thequality of service?
