Meena Chavan Corp's computer chip production process yields DRAM chips with an average life of 2,000 hours and s = 120 hours. Th

AnnZ [28]

Answer: a.)Cp= 1.25 ; b.) process is very capable ; c.) 0.83 ; d.) does not meet requires specification.

Explanation:

Given the following ;

Average chip life = 2000 hours

Standard deviation = 120 hours

Tolerance upper specification limit = 2600 hours

Tolerance lower specification limit = 1700 hours

A.) process capability ratio (Cp) :

Cp = (Upper specification limit - Lower specification limit) ÷ 6(standard deviation)

Cp = (2600 - 1700) ÷ (6 × 120)

Cp = 900 ÷ 720 = 1.25

B.) Capability ratio of 1.25 demonstrated that it is very capable.

C.) process capability ratio index(Cpk) :

Mean (X) = (Upper specification limit(US) - Lower specification limit(LCL))

Mean(X) = 2000

Lower Cpk = (X - LSL) ÷ 3(standard deviation)

Lower Cpk = (2000 - 1700) ÷ (3 × 120)

Lower Cpk = 300 ÷ 360 = 0.83

Upper Cpk = (USL - X) ÷ (3 × Standard deviation)

Upper Cpk = (2600 - 2000) ÷(3×120)

Upper Cpk = 600 ÷ 360 = 1.67

Cpk = Minimum_of (Upper Cpk, Lower Cpk)

Cpk = Minimum_of (1.67,0.83)

Cpk = 0.83

D.) Cpk < 1.0, shows that it does not meet required specification.

Also, sports is incomplete without a massive urban center. A society with massive urban centres has a profitable potential for commercializing its sporting activities.
