- Consider a product that is "settled in." Its MTBF distribution has been found to be normal with a mean of 10,000 hours and a standard deviation of 100 hours. Answer the following questions: (a) Calculate the probability of a breakdown before 8,000 hours? (b) Calculate the probability of a breakdown before 9,000 hours? (c) Would you prefer a policy of “preventive maintenance” or a policy of “breakdown maintenance” on this product? Explain your choice.arrow_forwardA young engineer on active duty with the Air Force discovers that a component used in three aircraft is overdesigned. A special adapter, costing several hundred dollars, is required for every component. The original purpose of the adapter was to permit the component to be used with a certain aircraft, but that aircraft now has been phased out of service. Thus, the adapter is redundant. The engineer tries to get the specification changed to eliminate the adapter, but she is told that the “system” will not permit this. The resourceful engineer then submits the proposal through the suggestion system of the maintenance depot where she is assigned. She receives a phone call from a staff member informing her that as a military officer she cannot receive a monetary award for suggestions. The advice is given that she adds a civil service engineer to the suggestion, and that they agree to split the award. The potential for monetary reward through the suggestion system is rather great, but to do…arrow_forwardA producer of pocket calculators estimates that the calculators fail at a rate of oneevery five years.

This vehicle will average 30 miles per gallon of gasoline. A tax credit of $1,500 for the hybrid vehicle effectively reduces its sticker price to $30,000. A comparably equipped gasoline-only vehicle will cost $28,000 and will average 25 miles per gallon of gasoline. Assuming an interest rate of 3% per year and a study period of five years, find the breakeven mileage per year between the hybrid vehicle and the gas-only vehicle. All other factors remain the same and assuming the gasoline costs $4.00 per gallon.arrow_forwardThe warehouse management system (WMS) of RoyaTech's Delaware Valley warehouse tracks service level at the warehouse. A service level failure at the warehouse is an event where a customer's order could not be shipped out in full by the promised shipping time. RoyalTech's ordering system prevents customers from placing orders on products that are not in-stock at the warehouse. Therefore, we can make the statement that "the WMS is guaranteed to show 100% service level at the warehouse." Choose the most appropriate statement in response: O True, because orders will be placed only for products that are available. O False, because service level can never be 100%. O False, because resource constraint or human error may delay the shipping even though inventory is available in the system. O False, because WMS calculations are faulty.arrow_forward

Whenever the equipment breaks down, the maintenance team is able to repair the equipment quickly. However, they are less effective at avoiding these breakdowns and cannot predict when the equipment will break down. The maintenance group has modified the equipment over the years and, in any event, the manufacturer of the equipment is no longer in business. The maintenance employees teach each other how to repair the equipment, but have refused to document any of this information (saying that it is too difficult to document these details). The company owner has thought about firing the maintenance staff unless they document the maintenance procedures, but realizes that there is no one else who can repair the equipment. Discuss or explain the sources or types of power and contingencies (moderator) of power among the maintenance employees in this situation.arrow_forward
