The American Society for Quality (ASQ) conducted a salary survey of all its members. ASQ members work in all areas of manufacturing and service-related institutions, with a common theme of an interest in quality. For the survey, emails were sent to 54,337 members, and 6,093 valid responses were received. Manager and quality engineer were the most frequently reported job titles among the valid responses. Master Black Belt, a person who takes a leadership role as the keeper of the Six Sigma process (see Section 19.6) and Green Belt, someone who works on Six Sigma projects part-time, were among the other job titles cited. Descriptive statistics concerning salaries for these four titles are given in the following table: Compare the salaries of Green Belts, managers, quality engineers, and Master Black Belts.

RVW (Restored Volkswagens) buys 15 used VW's at each of two car auctions each week held at different locations. It then transports the cars to repair shops it contracts with. When they are restored to RVW's specifications, RVW sells 10 each to three different used car lots. There are various costs associated with the average purchase and transportation prices from each auction to each repair shop. Also there are transportation costs from the repair shops to the used car lots. RVW is concerned with minimizing its total cost given the costs in the table below. a.
