11. In a manufacturing process there is a bound to how precisely a part can be made. If the car company asks for smaller and smaller values of , the part maker will eventually have to reply that their factory cannot deliver the part to such tight specifications because it is smaller than their minimum achievable

Let S = {ε > 0 : the part maker can produce the part to tolerance ε} (tolerance means the maximum allowed deviation from nominal). Show more…

Discuss how the precision of a measurement system affects the process potential in the context of measuring unloading times of supertankers. What bounds exist on the observed process potential?

The competitive advantage of some small American factories such as In Tolerance Contract Manufacturing lies in their ability to produce parts with very narrow requirements, or tolerances, that are typical in the aerospace industry. Consider a product with specifications that call for a maximum variance in the lengths of the parts of 0.0004. Suppose the sample variance for 32 parts turns out to be s² = 0.0005. Use α = 0.05, to test whether the population variance specification is being violated.

Answer the following questions: Q1. (20 points) A local Palestinian company in Hebron has contracted to produce parts for another company in Nablus. During the mechanical manufacturing process, the dimensions of successive parts become smaller, including the inside diameter, as the machining tool wears. However, the specifications of the part's diameter are so wide relative to the manufacturing process capabilities that it is possible to initially set the diameter at a large value and allow the manufacturing process to run for a short period of time before replacing the machining tool. The inside diameter of the mechanical parts decreases at an average rate of 0.001 cm per part, and the process has a standard deviation of 0.01 cm. It is given that the produced parts' diameter follows a normal distribution. Assuming three-sigma control limits, how frequently must the machining tool be replaced if you know that the lower and upper specification limits of the diameter are 3 cm and 3.5 cm, respectively, and the initial setting of the upper control limit is at the upper specification limit? Assume a sample size of one unit. Is the process capable? Show your computations.
