The final-inspection defect report for an assembly line is reported on the table and Pareto diagram as shown below: Defect Blemish Scratch Chip Bend Dent Others Count 61 50 28 17 13 11 Answer the following: 1. What is the total defect count in the report? 2. Find the percentage for "chip" defect items. 3. Find the "cum % for bend", and explain what that value means. 4. Management has given the production line the goal of reducing their defects by 50%. What two defects would you suggest they give special attention to in working toward this goal? Explain.

Step 1
- Add all the defect counts together: \[ 61 + 50 + 28 + 17 + 13 + 11 = 180 \] The total defect count is 180. Show more…

A report of a shirt inspector in a clothing factory resulted in four defective categories: improper size, coloring problem, missing button and fabric flaw as pictured in the following Pareto diagram a) What is the total of the defect counts in the report? b) What is the percentage of the improper size defects from the total number of defects? c) What is the percentage of the missed buttons defects from the total number of defects? d) Management has given the shirt inspector the goal of reducing their defects by 50%. What would you suggest for him to achieve that goal? e) Management has given the shirt inspector the goal of reducing their defects by 80%. What would you suggest for him to achieve that goal?

The manufacturing sector contributes 17% of Canada's gross domestic product. A customer orders 50 components from a factory that has a 99% quality production rate (99% of the products are defect-free). Based on this information, find the probability that: a. none of the components in the order are defective b. There is at least one defective product in the order. c. There are at least two defective products in the order. d. Calculate the mean, variance, and standard deviation for the defective transistors. μ = σ² = σ = e. Determine what outcomes would be considered unusual and explain why.

A line manager at a factory wants to determine the current percentage of trucks that come off the factory line with a defect. Use Excel to calculate how many trucks should the manager survey in order to be 90% confident that the estimated (sample) proportion is within 1 percentage point of the true population proportion of trucks with a defect. Remember to round up to the nearest whole number.
