Pepsi makes bottles that need to be between 30 and 32 oz. You do measurements, and you find that a normal distribution describes Pepsi's actual bottling machine performance.
Specifically, the mean of the process is 30.5 oz, and the process standard deviation is 0.02 oz. If Pepsi wants to be within the tolerances 99.7% of the time, what is the process capability index? Round your answer to the nearest 2nd decimal point. For example, if your answer is 0.4435, enter 0.44 into the box.
Suppose that a processoutput is normally distributed with a mean of 30.0 and a variance of 1.44. If the specifications are 30.0 /- 3.25, then compute process capability indices. Is the process capable of meeting specifications?
A process is in statistical control with = 202,5 y s = 2,0. Specifications are atLSL = 196 and USL = 206.a) Estimate the process capability with an appropriate process capability ratio.b) What is the potential capability of this process?c) Items that are produced below the lower specification limit must bescrapped, while items that are above the upper specification limit can bereworked. What proportion of the process output is scrap and whatproportion is rework?d) Because scrap is more expensive than rework, the process has been centered closer to the upper specification limit. If scrap is twice as expensive as rework, is the process mean at the best possible location? What value of the process target would you recommend?

Defective units that go undetected into final assemblies cost $25 each to replace. An inspection process, which would detect and remove all defectives, can be established to test these units. However, the inspector, who can test 20 units per hour, is paid $8 per hour, including fringe benefits. Should an inspection station be established to test all units?a. What is the cost to inspect each unit?b. What is the benefit (or loss) from the inspection process?arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image formate thanku. The specification for a plastic liner for concrete highway projects calls for a thickness of 6.0 mm ± 0.1 mm. The standard deviation of the process is estimated to be 0.02 mm. The process is known to operate at a mean thickness of 6.03 mm. What is the Cp and Cpk for this process? Determine whether this process meet 3-sigma requirements, 6-sigma requirements, or doesn’t meet any requirements.arrow_forward
- Specifications for a metal shaft are much wider than the machine used to make the shafts is capableof. Consequently, the decision has been made to allow the cutting tool to wear a certain amountbefore replacement. The tool wears at the rate of .004 centimeter per piece. The process has a naturalvariation, σ, of .02 centimeter and is normally distributed. Specifications are 15.0 to 15.2 centimeters.A three-sigma cushion is set at each end to minimize the risk of output outside of the specifications.How many shafts can the process turn out before tool replacement becomes necessary?arrow_forwardDesign specifications require that a key dimension on a product measure 100 ± 10 units. A process being considered for producing this product has a standard deviation of four units. What can you say (quantitatively) regarding the process capability? Assume that the process is centered with respect to specifications. Note: Round your answer to 4 decimal places. Suppose the process average shifts to 92. Calculate the new process capability. Note: Round your answer to 4 decimal places. What is the probability of defective output after the process shift? Note: Use Excel's NORM.S.DIST function to find the correct probability. Round "z" values to 2 decimal places. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.arrow_forwardProduct specifications at a local Metalwork company are 1000 ± 0.040. currently, the process is performing at a grand average of 1000 with a standard deviation of 0.010. a).

The company takes readings of every 10th bar off the production line. The reading points are 5.8, 5.9, 4.9, 5.2, 5.0, 4.9, 6.2, 5.1, 6.7, 6.1. Is the process in control or out of control and why? Group of answer choices It is out of control as one of these data points is more than 3 standard deviations from the mean It is in control as the data points more than 2 standard deviations from the mean are far apart It is in control as the values jump above and below the mean It is out of control as two of these data points are more than 2 standard deviations from the meanarrow_forward
