- At an Oxford grocery store, the manager Jenny Produce buys lettuce each day to ensure really fresh produce. In her focus on quality, each morning any lettuce that is left from the previous day is sold to a dealer that resells it to farmers who use it to feed their animals. This week Jenny can buy fresh lettuce for $10.00 a box. The lettuce is sold for $22.00 a box and the dealer that sells old lettuce is willing to pay $2.00 a box. Past history says that tomorrow's demand for lettuce averages 270 boxes with a standard deviation of 44 boxes. How many boxes of lettuce should Jenny purchase tomorrow? (Use Excel's NORMSINV() function to find the Z-score. Round intermediate calculations to four decimal places. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

(Dry) has announced plans to begin selling a new and improved type of drywall starting next year. To maintain their position as the leading manufacturer, and to compete with Dry, Wall decided to start producing an improved type of drywall as well. When the production line started, it took 29 hours to make the first batch of 100 8' by 4' sheets. Wall estimates the learning rate to be 75%. Forecasting the cumulative average time per batch to make the first seven batches of 8' by 4' sheets, and using that average, what is the total production hours to make these seven batches of sheets?arrow_forwardCross-departmental teams work concurrently to get things done (those that work in short production cycles to produce product increments across time).

- Each day, a FedEx competitor processes approximately 80,000 shipments. Suppose that they use the same Service Quality Index as FedEx and identified the following numbers of errors during a 5-day week (see the "FedEx: Measuring Service Performance" box). These values are hypothetical and do not reflect any real company's actual performance.

They design and manufacture high-tech LED lighting. The company is family owned (Angel Hernandez, owner) exporting 75% of their production to 25 different countries all over the world.

Quality control has been implemented at the end of the production process. Each and every component is dimensionally and electrically checked by one employee separating out the wrong units. During the last 2 years, sales have experienced a dramatic growth. However, rejections have also increased from 0,3% up to 3% of the total production.

(Treating and amalgamating are separate processes.) Three different grades of this product can be made (see the first column of Table 1), depending upon the mix of the materials used. Although there is some flexibility in the mix for each grade, quality standards may specify the minimum or maximum amount allowed for the proportion of a material in theproduct grade. (This proportion is the weight of the material expressed as a percentage of the total weight for the product grade.) For each of the two higher grades, a fixed percentage Table 1 Grade Specifications Amalgamation cost per pound $ Selling price per pound $ A Material 1: Not more than 30% of total 3 8.5 Material 2: Not less than 40% of total Material 3: Not more than 50% of total Material 4: Exactly…arrow_forwardSouth Africa Airways would like to monitor its airline’s performance.

Six Sigma projects measure the cost benefit of improving processes that are producing substandard products or services. Whether in manufacturing or service industries, such projects quantify the effect of process changes on delays or rework. The goal of each successful Six Sigma project is to produce statistically significant improvements in the target process; over time, multiple Six Sigma projects produce virtually defect-free performance. The Six Sigma Black Belt project is one that uses appropriate tools within a Six Sigma approach to produce breakthrough performance and real financial benefit to an operating business or company. The tools are generic. It is the structure of the project and the associated process (improvement model) that distinguish a Black Belt project from other similar quality improvement…arrow_forward
