screening testing group decision In initial screening a staff member spends 2 hours considering the idea. In mock-up, the idea is sent to one of many suppliers to produce a physical mock-up of the toy. There is essentially unlimited capacity at this stage, but it takes 4 days to get the mockup built even though multiple mockups can be built simultaneously. In safety testing each idea requires 2 days from a staff member to have the idea checked for safety. In focus groups each idea requires 3 hours from a staffmember to have the idea test marketed. Finally, the management team meets for 4 hours per idea to decide if the toy should be added to its line of products sold to customers. At the end of each stage, successful ideas enter the next stage. All other ideas are dropped. The following table summarizes the process: Time per idea put Pr(Success) Pr(Fail) Staffing into this stage 40% 2 hours Screening Mock-up Safety 60% 2 4 days 2 days 3 hours 4 hours 50% 50% 7 Focus group 35% 65% 1 Final decision 20% 80% 1 For example, there are 7 staff members that work in the safety stage. In each stage each idea is processed by only one staff member: for example, once one of the 7 staff members starts working on an idea in the safety stage, the idea completes that stage in 2 days (and either exits or moves to the focus group stage). Everyone works 8 hours per day, 5 days a week. i. On average, how many ideas are in the mock-up stage? ii. Which stage has the highest implied utilization (as a %)?

Use information provided in table 7.8 , 7.7 (*) Use the weighted-point evaluation system to cal- culate weighted performance scores for each of the software firms. Would the results change if each dimension had a weight of one-third? (**) In Chapter 2, we described order qualifiers as per- formance dimensions on which customers demand a minimum level of performance. Basically, if a supplier fails to meet the minimum requirements on any of the qualifiers, that supplier would be eliminated from contention. How would you incorporate the concept of order qualifiers into the weighted-point evaluation system?

The production line that is experiencing problems produces a large quantity of food. Even a short amount of time outside of optimal operating conditions can result in substantial waste. What would be the best quality tool to use in order to ensure the line is working within established limits and why? There appears to be a variety of issues that can result in quality costs for this particular food product for Supremo. As mentioned in the list of quality costs, defects are occurring in a variety of areas – materials, processing, and personnel. In order to identify the factors directly influencing the quality of the product, what would be the best quality tool and why? One of the technicians has a theory that the ambient temperature of the facility is correlated to product quality. What quality tool could you use to test this theory and why? Another technician believes that the relationships among several variables are complex and require multiple comparisons. She believes that…
