A bicycle component manufacturer produces hubs for bike wheels. Two processes are possible for manufacturing, and the parameters of each process are as follows:   Process 1 Process 2 Production Rate 35 parts per hour 15 parts per hour Daily production time 4 hours per day 7 hours per day Percent of Parts Rejected 20% 9% Assume that the daily demand for hubs allows all defect-free items to be sold. Additionally, defective hubs cannot be sold and their material cannot be recovered anymore. Find the process that minimizes the total cost per piece if each part is made from $4 worth of material. Both processes are fully automated, and the variable overhead cost is charges at $40 per hour.

What is the reverse recovery time of a diode?*  - A) The time taken to switch from reverse bias to forward bias  - B) The time taken to switch from forward bias to reverse bias  - C) The time taken to recover from a short circuit - D) The time taken to store charge.

How can lean six sigma changes be adopted and be long-lasting in a fast-paced and changing environment such as in a healthcare setting?

Flextronchip, an OEM manufacturer, has a fifth-generation chip for cell phones, with chip specification of 0.2 ± 0.0002 mm for the distance between two adjacent pins. The loss due to a defective chip has been estimated as $20. Required: 1. Compute the value of k, the cost coefficient in the Taguchi quality loss function (QLF), L(x) = K(x- T)2. 2. Assume that the quality control manager takes a sample of 100 chips from the production process. The results are as follows: Measurement Frequency 0.1996 4 0.1997 7 0.1998 12 0.1999 11 0.2000 40 0.2001 10 0.2002 8 0.2003 5 0.2004 3 a. & b. Use the appropriate Taguchi quality loss function, L(x), to calculate the estimated quality loss for each of the observed measurements. Additionally, calculate the expected (i.e., average) loss per unit for the production process as a whole. Complete this question by entering your answers in the tabs below.
