- There is a 4 percent error 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 $8 per hour and could inspect unit in the process at the current production rate of 45 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass a point, there is a cost of $9 per defective unit to correct the defects later. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round to 3 decimal places.) If an inspector is hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? (Round to 3 decimal places.)

- Super metals manufacturing company very competitive metal products business. It employs over 2,000 people. Because of the similarity in the product design and the competitive prices with those of its competitors, it maintains it’s market share by emphasizing quality and service. About a year ago the company lost two of its customers who had been dissatisfied with excessive manufacturing defects. After studying the problem, the company decided that its basic engineering was sound but carelessness and lack of quality consciousness on the part of production workers, inspectors and manufacturing supervisors were the prime cause of the trouble. Accordingly, it introduced a quality control training program to solve the problem. The course was given after working hours from 7 to 9 pm each Thursday for 10 weeks. Employees were not paid any additional amounts to attend the class. Technically attendance was voluntary.

- 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: Armand, a mean of 38 minutes and a standard deviation of 3 minutes: Jerry, a mean of 37 minutes and a standard deviation of 2.5 minutes: and Melissa, a mean of 37.5 minutes and a standard deviation of 1.8 minutes. Which of the participants would you judge to be capable? Explain. Can the value of the Cp exceed the value of Cp for a given participant? ExplainANSWER AS BEST AS YOU CAN FOR A THUMBS UP An oriented-strand board manufacturer operated its plant on a 24-hour, 7-day work week with two 12-hours shifts. Shift changes occurred at 8:00 am and 8:00 pm. At approximately 8:30 pm on January 18, 2001, a wet hog, which was located in a wood room, dropped off line and would not operate. The wet hog was used to grind tree bark and wood residue into a wet fuel used in wet-fuel burners in the plant. The wet hog was not essential to the operation of the plant, and whether or not it was operating had no effect on other operations in the plant. An electrician was assigned to repair the hog. At approximately 10:30 pm, he entered the motor control room and opened a 2300-volt motor circuit breaker. He caused an electrical fault in the circuit breaker, apparently by contacting energized parts inside the circuit breaker cubicle, and…Case study Training at Hailey’s Construction Shobana, Hailey’s Construction, Sales Manager, read the memo she has just received from Kavelan , the Training Manager, and said to herself,” No way!
