Question
A chemical process involves adding various agents to a vat and then waiting for the
agents to react to make a final compound. The vat holds up to 1000 gallons. Chemical
agents are added to the vat at a rate of 4.5 gallons per minute. Once the agents have been
added to the vat, the reaction takes 85 minutes no matter the actual number of gallons
in the batch. After the batch is complete, the vat must be cleaned. Cleaning always takes
15 minutes. What is the setup time of this process?
a. 15 minutes c. 100 minutes
b. 85 minutes d. 222.22 minutes

- Suppose you are analyzing processing times for a machining operation. In your analysis, you found Cp = 2.1 and Cpk = 1.5. Given this information, which of the following sigma levels is the highest that you could claim your process is capable of meeting? 2 sigma 3 sigma 4 sigma 5 sigma 6 sigmaarrow_forwardThere is a 4 percent error rate at a specific point in a production process. If an inspector is placed at this point, all the defects can be detected and eliminated. The inspector would cost $9 per hour and could inspect units in the process at the current production rate of 46 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass this point, there is a cost of $10 per defective unit to correct the defects later on. Assume that the line will operate at the same rate (i.e., the current production rate) regardless of whether the inspector is hired or not. a. if the inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? b. if an inspector is not hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? c. should an inspector be hired based on costs alone?arrow_forwardA rigid tank whose volume is 10 L contains 1 kg of water at 0.1 MPa pressure.
