- A maintenance group wants to increase the effectiveness of the repair work by tracking the number of maintenance requests that require a second call to complete the repair. The table below shows the data for 20 weeks. Is this process under control in terms of the rate of maintenance requests requiring a second call? Indicate whether the process is under control by drawing appropriate control charts / graphs.arrow_forwardBurger Doodle is a fast-food restaurant that processes anaverage of 680 food orders each day. The average cost of each order is $6.15. Four percent of the orders are incor-rect, and only 10% of the defective orders can be corrected with additional food items at an average cost of $1.75. Theremaining defective orders have to be thrown out.a. Compute the average product cost.b. In order to reduce the number of wrong orders,Burger Doodle is going to invest in a computerizedordering and cash register system. The cost of thesystem will increase the average order cost by $0.05and will reduce defective orders to 1%. What is theannual net cost effect of this quality-improvementinitiative?c.

- What’s the difference between Type I and Type II error?arrow_forwardProblem 13-4 (Algo) There is a 3 percent error rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $11 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 52 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $12 per defective unit to correct the defects later on. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not. a. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unit b. If an inspector is not hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Cost per unitarrow_forwardGE adopted Six Sigma from Motorola in 1995, Which of the following is not an advantage of using Six Sigma: Select one: O A.

A soda drink bottling company is interested in winning a contract with a popular drink brand. To win the contract the company must show that it is capable of meeting 6o quality. The contract is for the production of 355mL cans, for which a tolerance of +0.5mL is specified. The company believes the facility is in statistical control and has calculated a global value of R 0.15mL and 355.025mL for its production system. The com- pany ran a capability test by obtaining 10 samples (each of 8 elements) on which capability calculations will be performed. The data obtained is in the following table: Sample R Sample F R 0.18319 354.98938 0.15714 355.02304 B 0.15361 355.01149 G 0.19205 355.06814 0.14892 355.00997 H 0.16240 355.05145 0.19912 355.01490 I 0.19179 355.00207 E 0.18389 355.04694 J 0.11900 355.02327 The parameters A2, D3 and D4 for various n are shown in the following table.
