The following table contains the measurements of the key length dimension from a fuel injector. These samples of size five were taken at one-hour intervals.

Construct a three-sigma __ -chart and R-chart (use Exhibit 13.7) for the length of the fuel injector. What can you say about this process?

Short Answer

The X-bar graph demonstrates how the mean, as well as average, varies over time, whereas the R chart depicts how the spectrum of subgroups evolves.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Consider the data

Given data is as follows:

The sample mean and range are calculated as follows:

The Sample mean for set 1 = Sum of all the samples for set 1/Number of samples in set 1 =2.47/5 = 0.49

The Range for day 1 = Maximum value of all the samples in set 1 - Minimum value of all samples in set 1 = 0.511 -0.481 = 0.03

The details for all the sets are as follows

Calculations for UCL, LCL, and X bar chart are as follows

The calculations for UCL, LCL, and X bar chart are as follows:

The ith subgroup mean is calculated using;

i=∑j=1nχ¾±Âán

The grand mean (x-bar-bar) is calculated as follows:

i=∑i=1n∑j=1niχ¾±Âá∑j=1kni=0.499

Also, the following is another formula for the calculation of the grand mean (x-bar-bar):

i=∑i=1ki=i+2+...+kk

The range of the above data is calculated using the formula below:

∑i=1kRik=0.037

We also have the following A2, D3, and D4 values for a sample size of n = 5. For the chosen sample size (as determined by the table of constants):

A2=0.577D3=0D4=2.115

The following are the calculations for UCL, LCL, as well as centerline for the X-bar chart

UCL(X−bar)=X−bar−bar+(A2xR−bar)=0.4985+0.577×0.0373=0.52LCL(X−bar)=X−bar−bar−(A2xR−bar)=0.4985−0.577×0.0373=0.477CenterlineofX−barchartisX−bar−bar(grandmean)=0.4985

The R chart's UCL, LCL, and centerline calculations are as follows.

UCL(R)=R−bar×D4=0.0373×2.115=0.0789LCL(R)=R−bar×D3=0.0373×0=0CenterlineofRchartisR−bar(Rmean)=0.0373

The x-bar and range computed values are within the UCL as well as LCL limits determined previously for the x-bar and r-chart, indicating that the process is statistically controlled.

Question: Avis Company is a car rental company that is located three miles from the Los Angeles airport (LAX). Avis is dispatching a bus from its offices to the airport every 2 minutes. The average traveling time (round-trip) is 20 minutes.

a. How many Avis buses are traveling to and from the airport?

b. The branch manager wants to improve the service and suggests dispatching buses every 0.5 minutes. She argues that this will reduce the average traveling time from the airport to Avis offices to 2.5 minutes. Is she correct? If your answer is negative, then what will the average traveling time be?

A psychological therapist treats patients according to their individual needs. Patients are all treated in the same office on a scheduled basis. Each patient’s treatment is developed and customized for the individual according to the therapist’s professional training. Which of the contrasting service designs in the chapter would best describe the therapist’s service operation?

A firm uses a serial assembly system and needs answers to the following:

a. An output of 900 units per shift (7.5 hours) is desired for a new processing system. The system requires the product to pass through four stations where the work content at each station is 30 seconds. What is the required cycle time for such a system?

b. How efficient is your system with the cycle time you calculated?

c. Station 3 changes and now requires 45 seconds to complete. What will need to be done to meet demand (assume only 7.5 hours are available)? What is the efficiency of the new system?

Question: The Sun River beverage company is a regional producer of teas, exotic juices, and energy drinks. With an interest in healthier lifestyles, there has been an increase in demand for its sugar-free formulation. The final packing operation requires 13 tasks. Sun River bottles its sugar-free product 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Each week, there is a demand for 3,000 bottles of this product each week. Using the data below, solve the assembly-line balancing problem and calculate the efficiency of your solution, assuming the line runs at the cycle time required to meet demand. Use the longest task time for your decision criteria. Use the largest number of following tasks as a secondary criterion.

Question:Large-scale integrated (LSI) circuit chips are made in one department of an electronics firm. These chips are incorporated into analog devices that are then encased in epoxy. The yield is not particularly good for LSI manufacture, so the AQL specified by that department is 0.15 while the LTPD acceptable by the assembly department is 0.40.

  1. Develop a sampling plan.
  2. Explain what the sampling plan means; that is, how would you tell someone to do the test?
