Powell Motors, an automobile manufacturing company, is interested in purchasing new air filters for its automobiles. The company's buying team has narrowed the alternatives to products proposed by five suppliers-supplier 1, supplier 2, and supplier 3, supplier 4, and supplier 5. To select a supplier, the team is considering two characteristics-reliability and durability. The purchase decision lies on the performance score and the importance weight of each characteristic. The performance scores for reliability of supplier 1, supplier 2, supplier 3, supplier 4, and supplier 5 are 10, 9, 8, 6, and 7, respectively. The performance scores for durability of supplier 1, supplier 2, supplier 3, supplier 4, and supplier 5 are 5, 7, 8, 8, and 6, respectively. The buying team assigns reliability an importance weight of 9 against a score of 8 for durability. According to the multiattribute model of evaluation, the buying team of Powell Motors is most likely to select O supplier 2 O supplier I O supplier 4 O supplier 5 O supplier 3

How do needs for features and output from a system as well as performance, dependability, and maintainability affect quality assurance strategies?

Reliability is usually estimated in one of three ways.  List and briefly describe the three general techniques by which the parallel tests may be obtained and how reliability is estimated using each technique.

Describe the key components of a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and how it is used to improve system reliability.

Describe the purpose of product/service feasibility analysis? Briefly describe its two components.

The ABC Bank processes loan applications through 3 clerks set up in series, with reliabilities of 0.90, 0.80, and 0.99. a. The bank manager decided to provide redundancy to the two least reliable clerks. Reliability measures of the redundants are equal to the corresponding primary clerk. What is the new system reliability? Show illustration and complete solution. b. What will be the system reliability if the bank replaces the clerk with reliability measure of 0.80 and his redundant, with a 90% reliable clerk? Show illustration and complete solution.

JSA data is analyzed through a sequential breakdown of relevant steps and safety hazards in each step determined. Consequently, the identified hazards are then categorized into different risk levels, and preventive measures are determined. How does this help with prioritizing risks and could there be a pitfall if prioritizing does not occur?

Can you give me an example of topic with a measure to develop. Develop questions that would cover this area of interest. Provide specific examples of how you would establish the various types of reliability and validity for the measure.

Need help with the reliability of each column and also the overall system reliability

Discuss the key components of a system reliability model and how they contribute to overall system reliability.
