Chapter 3.S, Problem 1P
The Great Lakes Company, a grocery store chain, purchases apples from a produce distributor in Virginia. The grocery company has an agreement with the distributor that it desires shipments of 10,000 apples with no more than 2% defectives (i.e., severely blemished apples), although it will accept shipments with up to a maximum of 8% defective. The probability of rejecting a good lot is set at .05, whereas the probability of accepting a bad-quality lot is .10. Determine a sampling plan that will approximately achieve these quality performance criteria and the operating characteristic curve.

Deborah Kellogg buys Breathalyzer test sets for the Denver Police Department. The quality of the test sets from her two suppliers is indicated in the following table:
percent defective probability for winter park probability for
technology dayton enterprise
1% 0.65 0.25
3% 0.25 0.25
5% 0.10 0.50
For example the probability of getting a batch of tests that are 1% defective from Winter park technology is 0.65. Because Kellogg orders 10,000 tests per order, this would mean there is a 0.65 probability of getting 100 defective tests out of the 10,000 tests if Winter park technology is used to fill the order. A defectice breathalyzer test can be repaired for $0.50. Although the quality of the…

- 3arrow_forwardThe warehouse management system (WMS) of RoyaTech's Delaware Valley warehouse tracks service level at the warehouse. A service level failure at the warehouse is an event where a customer's order could not be shipped out in full by the promised shipping time. RoyalTech's ordering system prevents customers from placing orders on products that are not in-stock at the warehouse. Therefore, we can make the statement that "the WMS is guaranteed to show 100% service level at the warehouse." Choose the most appropriate statement in response: O True, because orders will be placed only for products that are available. O False, because service level can never be 100%. O False, because resource constraint or human error may delay the shipping even though inventory is available in the system. O False, because WMS calculations are faulty.arrow_forwardWhich one of the following is a way to improve the S/Q rating of branded pairs produced at a particular production facility?
