The output from a process contains a 0.02 defective unit. 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?
Management of Mittel Rhein AG of Köln, Germany, would like to reduce the amount of time between when a customer places an order and when the order is shipped. For the first quarter of operations during the current year the following data were reported:
Inspection time- 0.7 daysWait time (from order to start of production) -16.6 daysProcess time -2.7 daysMove time -1.3 daysQueue time- 4.5 daysRequired:1. Compute the throughput time. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)
2. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for the quarter. (Round your answer to the nearest whole percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).)
3. What percentage of the throughput time was spent in non–value-added activities? (Round your answer to the nearest whole percentage (i.e., 0.12 should be entered as 12).)
4. Compute the delivery cycle time. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 1 decimal place.)

These should be, given their name, exactly one foot long (i.e., this is actually the reason why American Football is called “Football”!), with a LSL of 11.9 inches and an USL of 12.1 inches. Currently, the production process generates footballs with an average length of 12.08 inches and a standard deviation of 0.01 inches. By how much can we improve the process capability of this process if we centered the mean? a. By 80% from 2 to 10 b. By 83% from 0.67 to 3.33 c. By 400% from 0.67 to 3.33 d.

Ethical beekeeping is a format where a hundred per cent of the honey is harvested at no point. Only 60% will be taken out of the hives that, or through that process, at any point, 40% will be left back for the bees.Also, through the exploration and pursuit of pure honey, Paras came across multiflora honey, which is most commonly used as a source of honey. But unfortunately, adulteration happens when a blend of multiflora honey is packaged and sold. Paras ensured that the lab tested the source from which they collected the honey to ensure the promise of purity was kept at every stage. Moreover, while sourcing the honey, the honey twig ensured that it was entirely antibiotic-free.2.…arrow_forward1.

- Production. Consider again the task of the quality control inspectors in Exercise 22. a) In this context, what is meant by the power of the test the inspectors conduct? b) They are currently testing 5 items each hour. Someone has proposed that they test 10 instead. What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a change? c) Their test currently uses a 5% level of significance. What are the advantages and disadvantages of changing to an alpha level of 1%? d) Suppose that, as a day passes, one of the machines on the assembly line produces more and more items that are defective. How will this affect the power of the test? Exercise 22 Quality control. Production managers on an assembly line must monitor the output to be sure that the level of defective products remains small. They periodically inspect a random sample of the items produced. If they find a significant increase in the proportion of items that must be rejected, they will halt the assembly process until the…arrow_forwardAs part of an insurance company’s training program, participants learn how to conduct an analysis of clients’ insurability.
