Suppose that the specifications for a part (in inches) are 6.00 ± 0.25. The loss right
at the range limits is $1000. What is the loss at 6.7 inch? Show answer dollars and
cents ( like $45.67).
✓ ~~~ 1000/(.25)^2= 16000
✓ 16000(6-6.7)^2= $7840.00
Given the diagram below, determine the system reliability if the individual component
reliabilities are: A = .89, B = 0.93, C = 0.92, and D = 0.94.
✓ ~~~ Parallel Product Reliabilities formula:
✓ [1-(1-.89)*(1-.93)]*[1-(1-.92)*(1-.94)]=
✓ [1-(.11*.07)]*[1-(.08*.06)]=
✓ (1-.0077)*(1-.0048)=
✓ .9923*.9952=.9875
Anna works on an assembly line where it takes her 20 minutes to produce 40 units of

Josh's stations. What is the demand for the product? Round to nearest unit.
✓ ~~~ Kanban Formula:
✓ 25/60= .4167
✓ 5=d(.4167)(1.15)/40
✓ 200=.4792d
✓ d=417.36

✓ ~~~ Multiply across:
✓ Location 1-
✓ 20*3=60
✓ 30*0=0
✓ 10*5=50
✓ 40*1=40
✓ L1=150
