Q3. A quality characteristic understudy has a manufacturing specification (in cm) of 0.200 ± 0.05. Historical data indicates that if the quality characteristic takes on values larger than 0.25 cm or smaller than 0.15 cm, the product fails and the cost of $70is incurred. Based on these data, a) Determine the Taguchi Loss function b) Estimate the loss for quality characteristic of 0.145 cm.
The following acceptance rule is being considered for determining whether to take delivery of a large shipment of components: A random sample of 60 components is checked, and the shipment is accepted if no more than three of them is defective. What is the probability of accepting a shipment containing 8% defectives?
Cysco Corp has a budget of $1,200,000 in 2017 for prevention costs. If it decides to automate a portion of its prevention activities, it will save $103,000 in variable costs. The new method will require $51,000 in training costs and $148,000 in annual equipment costs. Management is willing to adjust the budget for an amount up to the cost of the new equipment. The budgeted production level is 207,000 units. Appraisal costs for the year are budgeted at $508,000. The new prevention procedures will save appraisal costs of $50,000. Internal failure costs average $34 per failed unit of finished goods. The internal failure rate is expected to be 5% of all completed items. The proposed changes will cut the internal failure rate by one-half. Internal failure units are destroyed. External failure costs average $52 per failed unit. The company's average external failures average 4.5% of units sold. The new proposal will reduce this rate to 1%. Assume all units produced are sold and there are no…
Using the Taguchi quality loss function, an average loss of 20 per unit is calculated. During the year, 25,000 units were produced. Which of the following statements represents the correct application of the Taguchi loss function? a. The hidden costs of internal failure are 500,000. b. The hidden costs of external failure are 500,000. c. The costs of detection activities are 20 per unit inspected. d. The total external costs are 500,000.
Stahman, Inc., estimates its hidden external failure costs using the Taguchi loss function. Stahlman produces plastic sheets that vary in thickness and grade. For one of its large-volume products, it was determined that k = 30,000 and T = 0.28 inches in diameter. A sample of four units produced the following values: Required: 1. Calculate the average loss per unit. 2. Assuming that 100,000 units were produced, what is the total hidden cost? 3. Assume that the multiplier for Stahmans hidden external failure costs is six. What are the measured external costs? Explain the difference between measured costs and hidden costs.

Many companies use a quality control technique called acceptance sampling to monitor incoming shipments of parts, raw materials, and so on. In the electronics industry, component parts are commonly shipped from suppliers in large lots. Inspection of a sample of n components can be viewed as the n trials of a binomial experiment. The outcome for each component tested (trial) will be that the component is classified as good or defective. Reynolds Electronics accepts a lot from a particular supplier if the defective components in the lot do not exceed 1%. Suppose a random sample of five items from a recent shipment is tested. Assume that 1% of the shipment is defective. Compute the probability that no items in the sample are defective. Assume that 1% of the shipment is defective. Compute the probability that exactly one item in the sample is defective. What is the probability of observing one or more defective items in the sample if 1% of the shipment is defective? Would you feel comfortable accepting the shipment if one item was found to be defective? Why or why not?
AccuSound Corporation manufactures printed circuits for stereo amplifiers. A common product defect is a "drift" caused by failure to maintain precise heat levels during the production process. Rejects from the 100 percent testing program can be reworked to acceptable levels if the defect is drift. However, in a recent analysis of customer complaints, Marie Allen, the assistant controller, and the quality control engineer determined that normal rework does not bring the circuits up to standard. Sampling showed that about half of the reworked circuits will fail after extended amplifier operation. The incidence of failure in the reworked circuits is projected to be about 10 percent over five years.3. What should Marie Allen do?
Recognition of loss from spoilage. Spheres Toys manufactures globes at its San Fernando facility. The company provides you with the following information regarding operations for April 2017: Total globes manufactured 20,000 Globes rejected as spoiled units 750 Total manufacturing cost $800,000 Assume the spoiled units have no disposal value. Q. If the spoilage is considered normal, what is the increase in the unit cost of good globes manufactured as a result of the spoilage?
Suppose a new production method will be implemented if a hypothesis test supports the conclusion that the new method reduces the mean operating cost per hour. State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses if the mean cost for the current production method is $220 per hour. What is the Type I error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error? What is the Type II error in this situation? What are the consequences of making this error?
In 20X1, Don Blackburn, president of Price Electronics, received a report indicating that quality costs were 31% of sales. Faced with increasing pressures from imported goods. Don resolved to take measures to improve the overall quality of the companys products. After hiring a consultant in 20X1, the company began an aggressive program of total quality control. At the end of 20X5, Don requested an analysis of the progress the company had made in reducing and controlling quality costs. The accounting department assembled the following data: Required: 1. Compute the quality costs as a percentage of sales by category and in total for each year. 2. Prepare a multiple-year trend graph for quality costs, both by total costs and by category. Using the graph, assess the progress made in reducing and controlling quality costs. Does the graph provide evidence that quality has improved? Explain. 3. Using the 20X1 quality cost relationships (assume all costs are variable), calculate the quality costs that would have prevailed in 20X4. By how much did profits increase in 20X4 because of the quality improvement program? Repeat for 20X5.
