An entrepreneur has embarked on a project to use human hair in place of animal furs in a clothing line.

To increase the probability of sales the hybrid fabric must be dyed in various colors. Provide advice to the entrepreneur on what approaches should/could be taken to dye the new hybrid fabric. In your advice discuss the requirements of the dyes to be used, why hair dyes would not be a good option and how the dye(s) you suggest would work in the application based on the structure/properties of the fabric.

This job enables him to attend university without having to take out any student loans. He was now staring at a 50-gallon drum filled with used machine coolant, wondering what he should do. Just moments ago, Bryan's supervisor, Max Morrison, told him to dump half of the used coolant down the drain. Bryan knew the coolant was toxic, and he mentioned this to Max. But Max was not swayed. Max: The toxins settle at the bottom of the drum. If you pour out half and dilute it with tap water while you're pouring it, there's no problem. Byran: I don't think that's going to work. Besides, isn't it against the law? Max: Look, kid, I don't have time for chat about a bunch of laws. If I spent my time worrying about every little regulation that comes along, I'd never get anything done -- and neither will you. Common sense is my rule. I just told you --Toxins settle at the bottom, and most of them will stay…arrow_forwardUse the following information to answer multiple-choice Questions 21 to 30. A fibre glass company is considering the possibility of introducing a new product. Because of the expense involved in developing the initial moulds and acquiring the necessary equipment to produce fibreglass, it has decided to conduct a pilot study to make sure that the market will be adequate. They estimate that the pilot study will cost £12,000. Furthermore, the pilot study can be either successful or unsuccessful. The basic decisions are to build a large manufacturing facility, a small manufacturing facility, or no facility at all. With a favourable market, the company can expect to make £100,000 from the large facility or £60,000 from the smaller facility. If the market is unfavourable, however, they estimate that they would lose £40,000 with a large facility, while they would lose only £30,000 with the small facility. The company estimates that the probability of a favourable market given a successful…arrow_forward

Road and racing cyclists require specific tires that meet demanding specifications, and Ralf Bohle is concerned about monitoring the width of its road tires for these picky consumers. The company has a lower specification limit of 23 mm and an upper specification limit of 24 mm for the width of their flagship Schwlbe Pro One TT racing tire. After monitoring their process for some time, the company determines that the widths of tires produced is normally distributed with a standard deviation in width of 0.33 mm and a mean of 23.5 mm wide. a) What is the process capability index for the process? ) Assume the standard formulation for process capability where ?? = 1 refers to a threesigma process (i.e. ?? = 1 means that the upper and lower specification limits span ± 3?). b) What is the probability that a tire will either be too wide or too narrow?

The stores have been characterized as being rather conservative over the years with respect to their product line, store decor, and advertising. They have consistently avoided trendy clothes, for example. Their market is now becoming extremely competitive because several aggressive fashion stores are expanding and are aiming at the young, fashion-conscious buyer. As a result of this competition and the disappointing profit trend, the president is considering making the product line appear less conservative and more oriented toward the young buyer. Before making such a risky change, the president feels it prudent to conduct some marketing research to learn the exact status of his chain. What should be the research purpose? Compose a set of research questions that would be helpful.arrow_forwardA police makes a decision to give a drunk driver a warning and allow them to drive home or arrest them for drunk driving.

The marketing group for a cell phone manufacturer plans to conduct a telephone survey to determine consumer attitudes toward a new cell phone that is currently under development. In order to have a sufficient sample size to conduct the analysis, they need to contact at least 100 young males (under age 40), 150 older males (over age 40), 120 young females (under age 40), and 200 older females (over age 40). It costs $1 to make a daytime phone call and $1.50 to make an evening phone call (due to higher labor costs). This cost is incurred whether or not anyone answers the phone. The table below shows the likelihood of a given customer type answering each phone call. Assume the survey is conducted with whoever first answers the phone. Also, because of limited evening staffing, at most one-third of phone calls placed can be evening phone calls. How should the marketing group conduct the telephone survey so as to meet the sample size requirements at the lowest possible cost?
