. The Good Chocolate Company makes a variety of chocolate candies, including a 12-ounce chocolate bar (340 grams) and a box of six 1-ounce chocolate bars (170 grams).a. Specifications for the 12-ounce bar are 330 grams to 350 grams. What is the largest standarddeviation (in grams) that the machine that fills the bar molds can have and still be consideredcapable if the average fill is 340 grams?b. The machine that fills the bar molds for the 6-ounce bars has a standard deviation of .80 gram.The filling machine is set to deliver an average of 1.01 ounces per bar. Specifications for thesix-bar box are 160 to 180 grams. Is the process capable? Hint: The variance for the box isequal to six times the bar variance.c. What is the lowest setting in ounces for the filling machine that will provide capability in termsof the six-bar box?

The output from a process contains a 0.02 defective unit. Defective units that go undetected into final assemblies cost $25 each to replace. An inspection process, which would detect and remove all defectives, can be established to test these units. However, the inspector, who can test 20 units per hour, is paid $8 per hour, including fringe benefits. Should an inspection station be established to test all units?a. What is the cost to inspect each unit?b. What is the benefit (or loss) from the inspection process?

Mr. Ferdinand is a well-known entrepreneur who sells fresh organic beef to persons in the localcommunity. Customers love the quality of meet that Mr. Ferdinand sells so they tend torecommend his product to other people. Recently, Mr. Ferdinand has been running out of beefto sell to his customers. One customer suggests to him that he must use past sales records toforecast demand for his beef so that he can meet his customers' demand.I. Using a numerical example, demonstrate to Mr. Ferdinand how he can use a three-week and a four-week weighted moving average to forecast demand for his beef.II. Show how Mr. Ferdinand can test the accuracy of his forecast. III. Explain to Mr. Ferdinand two ways in which he can benefit from doing a forecast for his beef.
Burger 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.

As part of an insurance company’s training program, participants learn how to conduct an analysis of clients’ insurability. The goal is to have participants achieve a time in the range of 30 to 45 minutes. Test results for three participants were the following: Armand, a mean of 36.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 3.0 minutes; Jerry, a mean of 34.0 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.0 minutes; and Melissa, a mean of 37.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.7 minutes. a.Compute process capability for the participants and determine whether each is capable.

VGHC, humanitarian aid service in the Sub-Saharan Africa, operates its laboratory on-site. The lab maintains an inventory of test kits for a variety of procedures. VGHC uses 780 A1C kits each year. Ordering costs are $15 and holding costs are $3 per kit per year. The new price list indicates that orders of fewer than 73 kits will cost $60 per kit, 73 through 144 kits will cost $56 per kit, and orders of more than 144 kits will cost $53 per kit. Determine the optimal order quantity and the total cost.

Pete works for Home Depot at the paint counter. Customers often ask to match a color already in their home—a fabric, a rug, or an older paint. He has a talent for this and can do it quickly if the base colors are standardized. His first step is a visual check of his base colors—a white, a blue, a red, and a yellow. Identify what kind of steps is this and explain why?
Production. Consider again the task of the quality control inspectors in Exercise 22. a) In this context, what is meant by the power of the test the inspectors conduct? b) They are currently testing 5 items each hour. Someone has proposed that they test 10 instead. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a change? c) Their test currently uses a 5% level of significance. What are the advantages and disadvantages of changing to an alpha level of 1%? d) Suppose that, as a day passes, one of the machines on the assembly line produces more and more items that are defective. How will this affect the power of the test? Exercise 22 Quality control. Production managers on an assembly line must monitor the output to be sure that the level of defective products remains small. They periodically inspect a random sample of the items produced. If they find a significant increase in the proportion of items that must be rejected, they will halt the assembly process until the…
