- CEO John Spychalski is concerned about a problem that has existed at CBN railroad for almost 20 years now. The continuous problem has been that the locomotives used by the company are not very reliable. Even with prior decisions to resolve the problem, there still has not been a change in the reliability of these locomotives. Between 2015 and 2016, 155 new locomotives were purchased and one of CBN’s repair shops was renovated. The renovated shop has been very inefficient. Spychalski estimated that the shop would complete 300 overhauls on a yearly basis, but instead it has only managed to complete an average of160 overhauls per year.The company has also been doing a poor job servicing customers (that is, providing equipment). CBN has averaged only 87–88 percent equipment availability, compared to other railroads with availability figures greater than 90 percent. Increased business in the rail industry has been a reason for trying to reduce the time used for repairing the locomotives.…arrow_forwardStatement of the Problem and Solutions Rollin King and Herb Kelleher started Southwest Airlines in 1971 with this idea: if they could take airline passengers where they want to go, on time, at the lowest possible price, and have a good time while doing it, people would love to fly their airline. The result? No other airline in the industry's history has enjoyed the customer loyalty and extended profitability for which Southwest is now famous. The company now flies more than 3,400 times each day to over 64 destinations across the United States There's more to the story, however, than making promises and hoping to fulfill them. A large part of Southwest Airlines' success lies in its ability to plan long-term capacity to better match demand, as also improving the utilization of its fleet by turning around an aircraft at the gate faster than its competitors. Capacity at Southwest is measured in seat miles, and even a single minute reduction in aircraft turnaround time system wide means…arrow_forwardAs a regional sales manager, Nora Burke travels frequently and relies on her cell phone to keep up to date with clients.

- How do reliability and safety engineering principles differ in critical systems design?arrow_forwardDescribe MAD error?arrow_forward20-Station Assembly Line Consider an assembly line with 20 stations. Each station has a 0.5% probability of making a defect. At the end of the line, an inspection step singles out the defective units. The inspection step catches 80% of all defects. From inspection, units that are deemed to be non-defective are moved to the shipping department. If a defect is found at inspection, it is sent to the rework department. Rework fixes about 95% of the defective units. Units are directly shipped from the rework department with no further inspection taking place. What is the probability that a unit ends up in rework (in decimal form)?arrow_forward
- Good morning Bartleby. I have a research assignment that I am busy with regarding Reliability and maintainability of an ASSET. I decided to create a tangible asset for the community, A Solar Power charging Station. A solar power charging station for the neighborhood grid makes up the assets we I have selected to work on. Solar panels, batteries, distribution lines, and a control system make up the charging station. To reduce potential failures, i have concentrated on making sure the charging station's design achieves reliability and maintainability. So I need Bartleby to assist me with the following aspects for my ASSET: I need to... a)Explain how reliability and maintainability can be achieved in the design of the asset.b) Illustrate the possible failures that could occur due to human error. Explain how would one would consider the different elements of maintainability to minimize such errors.c) consider the different elements of maintainability to improve the reliability of the…arrow_forwardAn office manager has received a report from a consultant that includes a section on equipment replacement.
