Answer to Problem 10P

The value of σx is 0.61.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information is given:

PRIN.OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT-MYOMLAB, Chapter 6.S, Problem 10P , additional homework tip  1

Sample size is given as 5 and process standard deviation is given as 1.36.

Determine σx :

The standard deviation of the sample means denoted by σx¯ is calculated by the following formula

σx¯=σn

Here,

σ refers to process standard deviation

n refers to the sample size.

The given values are σ=1.36 and sample size n=5 , substitute the values in the above formula:

σx¯=σn=1.365=1.362.23=0.61

The standard deviation of the sample means σx¯=0.61

Answer to Problem 10P

The UCL value of x¯ is 11.83 and the LCL value is 8.17.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information is given:

PRIN.OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT-MYOMLAB, Chapter 6.S, Problem 10P , additional homework tip  2

Sample size is given as 5 and process standard deviation is given as 1.36.

Determine the control limits for the mean chart if the value of z is 3:

Formulae to calculate control limits:

UCL=x¯¯+z×σx¯ (1)

LCL=x¯¯z×σx¯ (2)

Here,

The value of z=3

x¯¯ is the mean of the sample means

the standard deviation of the mean σx¯=0.61

Calculate the average for each sample:

PRIN.OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT-MYOMLAB, Chapter 6.S, Problem 10P , additional homework tip  3

Working note:

Average for sample #1:

It is calculated by dividing the total of sample #1 and sample size.

Average=Total of Sample #1Sample size=515=10

Note: The same continues for all the samples.

Calculate the value of x¯¯ :

It is calculated by dividing the sum of average of all the samples and the number of samples. Hence, the value of x¯¯ is 10.

x¯¯=Average of all samplesNumber of samples=10+10+10.2+10.2+10.4+9.8+9.6+9.8+9.8+1010=10

Substitute the values in equation (1)to determine the value of UCL as follows:

UCL=x¯¯+z×σx¯=10+3×(0.61)=10+1.83=11.83

Hence, the UCL value is 11.83.

Substitute the values in equation (2) to determine the value of LCL as follows:

LCL=x¯¯z×σx¯=103×(0.61)=101.83=8.17

Hence, the LCL value is 8.17.

Answer to Problem 10P

The UCL value of R-chart is 6.9795 and the LCL value is 0.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The following information is given:

PRIN.OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT-MYOMLAB, Chapter 6.S, Problem 10P , additional homework tip  4

Sample size is given as 5 and process standard deviation is given as 1.36.

Determine the control limits for the mean chart if the value of z is 3:

Formulae to calculate control limits:

UCLR=D4×R¯ (3)

LCLR=D3×R¯ (4)

Here,

D3 refers to the lower range factor

D4 refers to the upper range factor

R¯ refers to the average range

Substitute the values in equation (3) to determine the value of UCL as follows:

UCLR=D4×R¯=2.115×3.3=6.9795

Hence, the UCL value is 6.9795.

Substitute the values in equation (4) to determine the value of LCL as follows:

LCLR=D3×R¯=0

Hence, the LCL value is 0.

You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. An event hall that hosts public lectures, book readings, poetry slams, and other similar events uses a one-week periodic review inventory system for the throat lozenges that it stocks for its patrons. A two-day lead time is needed for any order, and the event hall is willing to tolerate an average of one stock-out per year. (a) Using the event hall's service guideline, what is the probability of a stock-out associated with each replenishment decision? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) What is the replenishment level if demand during the review period plus lead-time period is normally distributed with a mean of 50 units and a standard deviation of 12 units? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) (c) What is the replenishment level if demand during the review period plus lead-time period is uniformly distributed between 45 and 95 units? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)
