Mike is the manager of a process that produces nickel-coating sprockets for tracked- vehicles. The nickel coating on the sprockets have a thickness specification of 100 ± 4 micron. An initial capability study reveals that the process limits are at 102 ± 6 micron. (a) Calculate the Cp & Cpk of the initial process. (b) What is the significance of Cp and Cpk in this question?

Explain the term availability and perform simple calculations.

basically we’re designing a machine that has rollers to flattened and rotating shaft to roll a strip of dried leaves into a bundle. Now we were advised to provide calculations with the relevant engineering parameters including the sizing of gears, belt and pulley, the torque requirement of each machine element and the power rating of the motor. The entire machine is powered by a stepper motor connected with a timing belt and pulley for power transmission. and gears that will rotate the shaft. Can you give us the flow of calculations from the rollers, the rotating shaft, up to sizing pf belt and pulley and gear ratios, with the last step as finding the power requirement (in hp) of the entire machine?

What are advantages and limitations of MPI and FPI?
