8. Product specifications call for a part at Vaidy Jayaraman's Metalworks to have a length of 1.100" ±.070". Currently, the process is performing at a grand average of 1.100" with a standard deviation of 0.015". Calculate the capability index
of this process.
The Cpk of this process is
Is the process "capable"?
No
Yes
(round your response to two decimal places).
5. The upper and lower specification limits for a component are 3.98 and 4.02 inches, respectively.
The process standard deviation is .004, and the process average is 4.005 inches. Is this process
capable of achieving four-sigma performance (the four-sigma performance target value is 1.33)?
Specifications for a metal shaft are much wider than the machine used to make the shafts is capableof. Consequently, the decision has been made to allow the cutting tool to wear a certain amountbefore replacement. The tool wears at the rate of .004 centimeter per piece. The process has a naturalvariation, σ, of .02 centimeter and is normally distributed. Specifications are 15.0 to 15.2 centimeters.A three-sigma cushion is set at each end to minimize the risk of output outside of the specifications.How many shafts can the process turn out before tool replacement becomes necessary?
