Briefly explain any ONE method of measuring reliability.arrow_forwardQUESTION 2 A. In Akhwan Company, operations director Mr Tamad recently realized there had been an increase in products failing during the final quality checks. These checks were carried out in the QC (quality control) laboratory, which tested finished goods products before being released for sale. The product failure rate had risen from 1% to 4% in two years' time which meant an increase of hundreds of items of output a month which were not sold to Akhwan's customers. The failed products had no value to the company once they had failed QC as the rework costs were not economic. Because the increase was gradual, it took a while for Mr Tamad to realize that the failure rate had risen. A thorough review of the main production operation revealed nothing that might explain the increased failure and so attention was focused on the QC laboratory. For some years, the QC laboratory at Ikhwan, managed by Ramly, had been marginalized in the company, with its two staff working in a remote…arrow_forwardQuestion 3 In model M/M/ s =4 / FCFS / 0 / 00, with A = 3, and u = 10 the P(j 2s) is?

- QUESTION 3 Metropolitan General Hospital is a city-owned and operated public hospital. Its emergency room is the largest and most prominent in the city. Approximately 70% of emergency cases in the city come or are sent to Metro General's emergency room. As a result, the emergency room is often crowded and the staff is overworked, causing concern among hospital administrators and city officials about the quality of service and health care the emergency room is able to provide. One of the key quality attributes administrators focus on is patient waiting time that is, the time be- tween when a patient checks in and registers and when the patient first sees an appropriate medical staff member. Hospital administration wants to monitor patient waiting time using statistical process control charts. At different times of the day over a period of several days, patient waiting times were recorded at random with the following results: Sample 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 7 22 6 25 21 17 25 15 1 28 27 16…arrow_forwardQuestion 25 VQA stands for: O Village, Quality, Allegiance O Vintners Quality Alliance O Variation, Quality, Association O Vintners Quality Assurancearrow_forwardQUESTION 8 When Natalie heard the news reports about the large number of lay-offs taking place in the airline industry, she worried that her healthcare job would also be affected.
