XF Electronics Scenario
Use the information given below for all questions about this scenario.
XF Electronics is a new startup manufacturing computer chips used in automobiles. The management wants to ensure that the defect rate in the chip
manufacturing process remains under control.Each chip is tested on a testing machine that turns on a green light if the chip works as intended, or a red light if the
chip has a malfunction. When the red light turns on, the chip is placed in a "defective" bucket to keep it separate from the good chips.
Once the factory is running in an ideal state, with trained employees, the operations manager starts collecting data. The operations manager takes a sample of 100
chips each day for 10 days and tests them. The # of chips found defective is recorded in the table below.

An office security system at PAC Ltd has two component parts, both of which must work for the system to function. Part 1 has a reliability of 80 percent, and part 2 has a reliability of 98 percent. Compute the reliability of the system.
The 80% lower one-sided confidence limit requirement for a device with unknown life
distribution is 0.97.
4.1) How many devices need to be tested for the mission duration time without any
failures to meet this requirement?
4.2) If only 20 units are available for testing, what would be the 80% lower one-sided
demonstrated reliability?

Purchasing the part would cost $1.50 each. If they design and produce it themselves, it will result in a per-unit cost of $0.75. However, the design investment would be $50,000. Further, they realize that for this type of part, there is a 30% chance that the part will need to be redesigned at an additional cost of $50,000. Regardless of whether they make or buy the part, Tesla will need 100,000 of these parts. Use decision trees analysis to calculate the expected monetary value (EMV) and make decision. Please draw a decision tree for analysis. What is the cost if Tesla decide to make the part but the part needs to be redesigned? What is the cost if Tesla decide to make the part and the part does not need to be redesigned? What is the EMV if Tesla decide to make the part? What is the EMV if Tesla decide to buy the part? How would the “30% chance for redesign” come from?…arrow_forward

- The COVID-19 pandemic dramatically affects the aviation industry, which brings the sharpest decline of passenger demands. It also causes increasing incidents from every aspect of aviation industry, due to the changes of operational environments. The situation will continue to evolve until a “new normal” is reached. Upon your own understanding of the impact of COVID19 on aviation industry, please list five possible safety issues during the pandemic, or in the recovery process, or in the “new normal” period.arrow_forwardRick Wing, salesperson for Wave SolderingSystems, Inc. (WSSI), has provided you with a proposal forimproving the temperature control on your present machine.The machine uses a hot-air knife to cleanly remove excess solder from printed circuit boards; this is a great concept, butthe hot-air temperature control lacks reliability. According toWing, engineers at WSSI have improved the reliability of thecritical temperature controls. The new system still has the foursensitive integrated circuits controlling the temperature, butthe new machine has a backup for each. The four integratedcircuits have reliabilities of .90, .92, .94, and .96. The fourbackup circuits all have a reliability of .90.a) What is the reliability of the new temperature controller?b) If you pay a premium, Wing says he can improve all fourof the backup units to .93.
