SCENARIO A:
A woodcutting operation has a target (nominal) value of 200 inches and consistently averages 200.1 inches with a standard deviation of .05 inches. The design engineers have established an upper specification limit of 200.25 and a lower specification limit of 199.75 inches.
The process capability ratio, Cp, of the operation is:
Group of answer choices
a Less than 1
b Greater than or equal to 1 but less than 1.25
c Greater than or equal to 1.25 but less than 1.5
d Greater than or equal to 1.5 but less than 1.75
e Greater than or equal to 1.75 but less than 2
f Greater than or equal to 2
Consider the process of filling prescriptions at two pharmacy locations. Over the past year, 2,500 prescriptions were filled at the first location, and 3,000 prescriptions were filled at the second location. Quality is measured by the proper medication being dispensed. In 12 instances at the first location and 15 instances at the second location, the incorrect medication was given. Calculate the dpmo and its corresponding sigma level for this process
