TRUE or FALSE 1. T F It is impossible to develop a process that has zero variability. 2. T F Assignable variations in a process are also called natural variations. 3. T F An x-bar chart would be appropriate to monitor the number of defects in a production lot. 4. T F The central limit theorem provides the statistical foundation for control charts. 5. T F If we are tracking quality of performance for a class of students‚ we should plot the pass/fail result on a p-chart. 6. T F Sample

seem better? 4.18. Consider the following actual (A1) and forecast (F1) demand levels for a product: Time Period (t) Actual Demand (A1) Forecast Demand (F1) 1 50 50 2 42 50 3 56 48 4 46 50 5 49 The first forecast F1 was derived by observing A1 and setting F1 equal to A1. Subsequent forecasts were derived by exponential smoothing. Using the exponential smoothing method‚ find the forecast time for period 5. (Hint: You need to first find the smoothing constant‚ α.) To find α: 50= 50 + α(42-50)

Determine the following probabilities: a) The project is completed in 68 weeks. Z = (68 wks – 62wks) / 4 = 6 / 4 = 1.5 = .93319 = 93.32 % b) The project takes longer

The store employs eight full-time workers (they work a 40-hour week). In April the store also had seven part-time workers at 10 hours per week‚ and in May the store had 9 part-timers at 15 hours per week (assume four weeks in each month). Using sales dollars as the measure of output‚ what is the percentage change in productivity

Annual Operating Plan (AOP) for each park. The AOP is otherwise known as Aggregate Production Plan. CAPACITY PLANNING is a long term strategic decisions that establishes a firm’s overall level of resources. Capacity decisions affect product lead times‚ customer responsiveness‚ operating cost‚ and firm’s ability to compete. Inadequate capacity can lose customers and limit growth. Excess capacity can drain a company’s resources and prevent investments in more lucrative ventures. Critical Decisions
