n a continuous review inventory system, the lead time for door knobs is 5 weeks. The standard deviation of demand during the lead time is 85 units. The desired cycle-service level is 99 per- cent. The supplier of door knobs streamlined its operations and now quotes a one-week lead time. How much can safety stock be reduced without reducing the 99 percent cycle-service level?

Measurements of 10 min each give gross and background count rates, respectively, of 72 and 54 cpm, for a net count rate of 18 cpm. What are the standard deviations of the following count rates: A. gross? B. background? C. net?
A work measurement analyst at the Dorben Company took 10 observations of a high-production job. He rated the performance of each cycle and then calculated the average normal time for each item. The item with the largest dispersion had a mean of 0.30 minutes and a standard deviation of 0.03 minutes. If it is desired to have sample data within ±5% of the actual data, how many observations should the time study analyst take of this operation?

Lusaka Engineering Company (LEC) had actual quality costs for the year ended December 31, 2022, as given below: Cost Element Amount ($) Prototype verification 300,000 Process acceptance 315,000 Product liability 618,750 Recalls 243,750 Retesting 187,500 Rework 375,000 Test labour 360,000 Vendor certification 600,000 At the zero-defect state, LEC expects to spend $375,000 on Prototype verification, $75,000 on Vendor certification, and $50,000 on Process acceptance. Assume sales to be $25,000,000. Required: (a) Prepare a Cost of Quality report for 2022 using the PAF Model. What does this report tell the management of LEC? (b) Prepare a Cost of Quality report for the Zero-Defect State using the PAF Model. Explain why quality costs still are present for the zero-defect state. (c) What if LEC achieves the zero-defect state reflected in the report in part (b), what are some of the implications of this achievement?

Bottles for room spray are supposed to weigh exactly 16 oz. Inspectors want to develop process control charts. They take o7 boxes of five bottles each and weigh them. They obtain the following data. The mean weights of each of the 07 samples are 14.6,16.5,18.1,13.2,16,15.9, and 14.8 respectively. Likewise, the range values for the each of 07 samples are o.7,0.5, 0.4,0.2,0.4,0.5, and o.9 respectively. Ebr the X-bar charts and R-charts, the Parameters, A2, D3 and D4 are respectively.
