There are two machines for sale that you are considering purchasing for your sawmill to produce hardwood flooring. You want to f

ind the one that has a higher process capability index, or Cpk. The goal is to produce flooring that is between 46 and 50 millimeters thick. The first machine is more accurate on average, producing to a mean of 48 millimeters…but unfortunately it has more variation with a standard deviation of .7 millimeters. The second machine is not as accurate, with a mean of 47mm, but does deliver a more consistent output, with standard deviation of 0.3mm.
1. What is the Cpk of machine 1?
2. What is the Cpk of machine 2?
3. If your goal is to be 'capable', what would you do?
4. If (somehow) you could combine the best of both machines (the centering or average of machine 1 coupled with the constancy or standard deviation of machine 2, what would the Cpk be?

Answer:

1. The Cpk of machine 1 would be 0.952

2. The Cpk of machine 2 would be 1.111

3.  I would buy machine 2, because the Cpk value is more than 1.

4. The Cpk would be 2.222

Explanation:

1. In order to calculate the Cpk of machine 1 we would have to use to following formula:

Process capability index: Cpk= Min [(mean-L spec)/3sd; (U spec-mean)/3sd]

According to given data:

In machine 1, mean= 48mm

L spec= 46

U spec= 50

Standard deviation sd= 0.7

Therefore, Cpk of machine 1= [0.952;0.952]= 0.952

1. In order to calculate the Cpk of machine 2 we would have to use to following formula:

Process capability index: Cpk= Min [(mean-L spec)/3sd; (U spec-mean)/3sd]

According to given data:

In machine 2, mean= 47

L spec= 46

U spec= 50

Standard deviation sd= 0.3

Therefore, Cpk of machine 2= [1.111;3.333]= 1.111

3. If my goal is to be capable, I would buy machine 2, because the Cpk value is more than 1.

4. If you combine the best of both machines to calculate the cpk we to make the following calculation:

Combination specification, mean= 48 and L spec= 46 and U spec= 50, Standard deviation sd= 0.3

Therefore, Cpk= [2.222;2.222]= 2.222

What is the customer demand in the uk for international foods?<br><br> need a detailed answer please
Romashka [77]
UK cuisine is largely international, with curry (for instance) being the most popular foodstuff in the UK, originating from Asia.

As Hungarian, Italian, Greek, Indian, French, Chinese, Vietnamese, Mongolian, and any number of other exotic food outlets are thriving in London, for instance, it would suggest that customer demand for these foodstuffs is enough to sustain business.

A large number of mixed Polish/Halal grocery shops have opened in areas of South London in recent years, catering to an increased number of workers and immigrants from the Middle-East and Eastern Europe.

The good old Fish'n'Chips shop is still going strong.

Many have expanded their menu to include kebabs - only fair, as kebab shops tend to sell chips too...

Answer:

i'm assuming recurring expenses are necessities so those would always come first, things you need on top of your regular expenses would come next and any wants you have would come last. "entertainment expenses" would be lumped in with your "wants"
