The production process for an electronic product has 12 major steps. If each of the first six production steps is at a 5-Sigma quality level and the remaining steps are at a 5.5 sigma quality level, calculate the total percentage of error-free products manufactured.
There is a 4 percent error 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 $8 per hour and could inspect unit in the process at the current production rate of 45 per hour. If no inspector is hired and defects are allowed to pass a point, there is a cost of $9 per defective unit to correct the defects later. If an inspector is hired, what will be the inspection cost per unit? (Round to 3 decimal places.) If an inspector is hired, what will be the defective cost per unit? (Round to 3 decimal places.) Should an inspector be hired based on cost alone?
What is a capable process? Is a capable process a perfect process? In other words, does a capable process produce output that meets specifications?
