Three designs, called designs K1, K2, and K3, are under consideration. No matter which design is used, daily production of sandwiches at a typical McBurger restaurant is for 600 sandwiches. A sandwich costs $1.30 to produce. Non-defective sandwiches sell, on the average, for $2.50 per sandwich. Defective sandwiches cannot be sold and are scrapped. The goal is to choose a design that maximizes the expected profit at a typical restaurant over a 300-day period. Designs K1, K2, and K3 cost $115,000, $140,000, and $170,000, respectively. Under design K1, there is a .80 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .20 chance that 70 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective. Under design K2, there is a .85 chance that 90 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective and a .15 chance that 75 out of each 100 sandwiches are non-defective.

Since arriving at LFP, Tim could not help but feel that there were too many “diamonds in the rough” to ignore. Typical was the process for making the taillight assembly for the Dodge Ram, one of the best-selling trucks in the market. The process began with the back plate. This was a long black piece of extruded ABS plastic (produced in another part of the plant) that contained two concave depressions—one for the turn light and one for the backup light. These were withdrawn from a temporary storage location found near the assembly line. Each back plate was first checked for cosmetic defects. Those that failed this step were placed in a bin where they were eventually used as a source of raw material for regrinds. Any plate passing this test was placed in a metalization chamber, where nickel metal particles were sprayed on using a high-pressure water-based system. Because of the nature of the process, only half of the material…arrow_forwardWhy is it critical to align process capabilities with product specifications?arrow_forward
