A defense contractor manufactures rifles for the military.
The military has exacting quality standards that the con-tractor must meet. The military is very pleased with the
quality of the products provided by the contractor andrarely has to return products or has reason for complaint.However, the contractor is experiencing extremely high
quality-related costs. Speculate on the reasons for the con-tractor’s high quality-related costs.
The quality assurance manager is assessing the capability of a process that puts pressurized grease in an aerosol can. The design specifications call for an average of 60 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure in each can with an upper specification limit of 65 psi and a lower specification limit of 55 psi. A sample is taken from production and it is found that the cans average 61 psi with a standard deviation of 2 psi. What is the capability of the process? What is the probability of producing a defect?
Quality Control of Doughnuts: The Hudson Valley Bakery makes doughnuts that are packaged in boxes with labels stating that there are 12 doughnuts weighing a total of 42 oz. If the variation among the doughnuts is too large, some boxes will be underweight (cheating consumers) and others will be overweight (lowering profit). A consumer would not be happy with a doughnut so small that it can be seen only with an electron microscope, nor would a consumer be happy with a doughnut so large that it resembles a tractor tire. The quality-control supervisor has found that he can stay out of trouble if the doughnuts have a mean of 3.50 oz. and a standard deviation of 0.06 oz. or less. Twelve doughnuts are randomly selected from the production line and weighed, with the result given here (in ounces).

- Boston Electric Generators has been getting many complaints from its major customer, Home Station, about the quality of its shipments of home generators. Daniel Shimshak, the plant manager, is alarmed that a customer is providing him with the only information the company has on shipment quality. He decides to collect information on defective shipments through a form he has asked his drivers to complete on arrival at customers' stores. The forms for the first 287 shipments have been turned in. They show the following over the past 8 weeks: Week No. of Shipments No. of Shipments with Defects 1 23 10 2 31 11 3 32 12 4 39 13 5 35 12 6 40 14 7 41 14 8 46 17 This exercise contains only part a. a) Using the point drawing tool eight times, develop a scatter diagram using total number of shipments and number of defective shipments.

Hyundai cars ranked 26th out of 35 car brands in terms of initial car quality as measured by the influential J.D. Power Initial Car Quality survey. With $6.6 million in debt, a $1 billion investment for a new manufacturing plant in Alabama, and the company’s first-ever loss, Hyundai’s new chairman, Chung Mong Koo, declared that improving quality was the only way to fix the company.The challenge for Chung was to get his managers to put quality, and not costs, first. So he sent a visible, meaningful message that poor quality would no longer be tolerated. During one plant visit, Chung demanded to see under the hood of a car on the production line. He was furious when he saw loose wires, tangled hoses, bolts painted four different colors - tremendous deviation from what the engine compartment was supposed to look like. On the spot, he instructed the plant…arrow_forward
