Suppose that the Dallas School District wants to achieve Six Sigma quality levels of performance in delivering students to schoo

Kay [80]

Answer:

a) 1.66 minutes

b) 3.4 out of million deliveries

Explanation:

So, it is a six sigma quality question, we first need to understand little bit about six sigma and how it is to achieve six sigma level.

Six Sigma:

It is the process or technique used by many organizations through out the world to achieve maximum quality in a product or in a service they are providing. It helps to indicate root causes of the process or you can say waste steps which first need to be identified then rectified to bring that top-notch quality in the system. So in this case, in order to calculate part a) we will calculate six sigma control limits.

a) So, for six sigma control limits, the maximum allowable standard deviation is 12 or you can say +6 + (-6) = ±6 = 12. It means all deviations must lie in all 12 standard deviations.

Please refer to the table shown in the attachment. This bell curve represent six sigma concept. In this 3 sigma quality level means all deviations must lie in 6 standard deviations.

So, here we have been given that mean = 20, so with mean we can calculate standard deviation in six sigma control limits.

Maximum Allowable Standard Deviation for 6 sigma = Mean/12

= 20/12

= 1.66

So, 1.66 is the maximum allowable standard deviation of arrival times required in order to achieve 6 sigma quality level.

b) In this part, we are asked that, out of million deliveries about how many times bus deliver students too early or too late at this 6 sigma quality level.

For this answer, please refer to attachment again. and notice at the left bottom with the arrow of 6 sigma, we have a number 3.4 ppm means 3.4 part per million.

So, it 3.4 times in a million deliveries bus will deliver students either too early or too late.

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

A) Increase $137,500

Explanation:

Calculation for how will operating income be affected

CHANGE IN OPERATING INCOME

Sales Revenue (Additional) $850,000

(250 %* 340,000)

Less Variable expenses (Additional) ($587,500)

(250 % *$ 235,000)

Contribution Margin $ 262,500

($850,000-$587,500)

Less Fixed Expenses ($76,000)

($262,500-$76,000)

Operating Income $ 186,500

( $ 262,500-$76,000)

Less Previous Operating Income ($49,000)

Operating Income $137,500 Increase

($ 186,500-$49,000)

Therefore the operating income will increase by $137,500

E. avoiding the use of strategies that entail coordinating its domestic strategic moves with its strategic moves in the various foreign markets that it enters.

Answer:

D. dispersing its activities among various countries in a manner that lowers costs or else helps achieve greater product differentiation and transferring competitively valuable competencies and capabilities from its domestic operations to its operations in foreign markets

Explanation:

A key condition that makes a firm achieve competitive advantage or a favourable business position is it's costs and product design.

If a firm can lower it's cost in a foreign market while also maintaining quality just as it is has done in it's domestic market then it stands a better chance of success.

For example, if a firm in the clothing line industry decides to expand its operations to a foreign market eg Africa.

A key factor in determining its success is its ability to lower its cost in the foreign market as compared to competitors, while also achieving the same quality standards of products.
