Q1: In a single sampling plan the sample size n =5. The submitted lot has on an average 25% defective items. Three acceptance numbers ( c = 0, c =1, and c=2) are being negotiated between the manufacturer and the buyer. Which acceptance number is most desirable from the manufacturer's viewpoint. You may use the following OC curve to find the answer.

a)  c = 0

b)  c = 1

c)   c = 2

Q 4: What is the upper control limit for the x-bar chart?

Q 5: What is the upper control limit for the R chart?

Cholesterol Palace is a fast-food restaurant. Management was concerned with errors in filling orders at its drive-up window. It hired several undercover quality inspectors to randomly place 100 orders while the process seemed to be in control. The completed orders were then checked for accuracy. The following table shows the results of the survey. Answer Q 6, Q 7, and Q 8.

Defect                                                Frequency

Incomplete, shorted order                              12

Unordered items dispensed                             2

Wrong product dispensed                               14

Wrong toppings                                            14

Wrong size drink                                            2

Drink lid not sealed                                        17

No drinking straw with soft drink order              0

No napkins                                                  18

Far too many condiment packets                     65

No salt with sandwich or fries order                  10

Wrong change                                               3

Other                                                          12

QC 6: Use these data to estimate the average number of defects per order.

QC 7: What is the lower control limit for a c-chart. Use z =3.

QC 8: A quality inspector just used the drive-up window and now checks her order. Her cheeseburger has mustard on it although she ordered it without ketchup or mustard. Three handfuls of ketchup and mustard packets are in the sack, but no napkins. And hot coffee has spilled because the lid wasn't properly sealed. Is the drive-up process in control?

Problems on Scheduling

Q 15: A single machine work center has five jobs assigned to it. They are labeled, in the order of their arrival in the shop, as jobs A, B, C, D and E. The work center may work on only one job at a time and must complete any job it starts before starting another job. Job A has a processing time of 6 days and is due to the customer in 9 days. Job B has a processing time of 2 days and is due in 16 days. Job C has a processing time of 4 days and is due in 10 days. Job D has a processing time of 3 days and is due in 7 days. Job E has a processing time of 5 days and is due in 12 days. Using the first-come-first-served priority rule, what is the number of late (tardy) jobs?

Job D, requires five hours on M1 and one hour on M2. Using Johnson's rule, in what order should these jobs be done?
