The questions are based on the following case study:
From DuPont article: A step-by-step guide to continuous improvement by Robert J. Craig (DuPont Electronics, Connector Systems Division)
Case study #2A
Which analytical tools were used by DuPont Electronics (Connector Systems Division) in this case study?
• List all Six Sigma analytical tools used by DuPont
• Select 3 analytical tools used by DuPont Electronics
• Discuss the results and conclusions from each analytical tool used.
Case study #2B
Develop Six Sigma metrics based on this case study. In other words, what 5 items will you measure on a constant basis? Explain why you selected these 5 measurement elements. The selection should be based on your personal analysis of the case study.
Case study #2C
How does the above metrics aligned with the business goals of DuPont Electronics? Refer to the slide "Examples of how can Six Sigma metrics align with business goals". Use this format to answer 2C.
Case study #2D
Which performance measurements were used by DuPont in this case study? First list each measurement and then explain (3-5 sentences) each measurement.
Case study #2E
Based on this experience at DuPont, what advice will you give to another company which is planning to implement Six Sigma? Do not exceed 1 page, 12 size font, single spaced.

Can the system reconstruct the free-space list
: Consider a file system similar to the one used by UNIX with indexed allocation. How many disk I/O operations might be required to read the contents of a small local file at /a/b/c? Assume that none of the disk blocks is currently being cached.
|
|
What are the different levels of granularity
: Discuss how performance optimizations for file systems might result in difficulties in maintaining the consistency of the systems in the event of computer crashes.

How your attitude about effective management has been affect
: Post a 200- to 250-word explanation of how your attitude about effective management has been affected by the information you gained regarding statistics in this course.

How many physical blocks must be read from the disk
: If we are currently at logical block 10 (the last block accessed was block 10) and want to access logical block 4, how many physical blocks must be read from the disk?

Develop six sigma metrics based on this case study
: Develop Six Sigma metrics based on this case study. In other words, what 5 items will you measure on a constant basis? Explain why you selected these 5 measurement elements.

Why recompacting and relocation of files are often avoided
: Consider a file system that uses inodes to represent files. Disk blocks are 8 KB in size, and a pointer to a disk block requires 4 bytes. This file system has 12 direct disk blocks, as well as single, double, and triple indirect disk blocks. What ..

How institutional racism is present in many urban schools
: Specific content referring to the lives of students in urban, mixed-race schools, How institutional racism is present in many urban schools and How racism, discrimination, and prejudice often exist in an urban high school

Why logging metadata updates ensures recovery of file system
: Assume that in a particular augmentation of a remote-file-access protocol, each client maintains a name cache that caches translations from file names to corresponding file handles. What issues should we take into account in implementing the name ..

How can the company mitigate these risks
: The account managers (AM) do not communicate with sales engineers (SE) early in the pre-sales cycle. The lack of early engagement and communications with the SE leads to rushed deadlines and last minute changes to the Scope of Work (SOW) contract...
