Develop charts and comment on the process .

Q2. A control Chart for fraction non conforming is to be established with the centre line at 0.07 (p=0.07).How large the sample size should be to so as to have a non zero value of LCL.

Q 3. A company produces micro-oven components on mass basis. At some production point 10 samples of 100 each were collected . They were categorized as Good or Defective ., and the number of defectives were as follows: 18,19,8,15,17,12,19,1, 15, 17. Construct a p chart with 3 sigma limits and comment on the process . Q4. A company produces chips on mass production basis. At some production point 10 samples of 50 each were collected and the no. of defects found were as follows: 9,10,4,9,8,6,9,8,7,5 . Construct a p chart with 3 sigma limits and comment on the process .Q 5. Control chart for mean and range are to be set up on the measurements of diameter of a shaft . Samples were of size 4. After 30 samples were taken it was found that the mean value of dias were 7515 . The mean value of ranges were 360. The customer wanted that the diameter of the shafts should be within 250mm +/- 10mm. It is given that for n=4, A2 =0.729, D3= 0, D4= 2.282.Determine the control limits . What is the probability of rejection by customer ?

Q6. Forecast for the month Feb =100 units. Actual demand for Feb is 90. if alpha = 0.12, what should be forecast for March ?Q7. The data given in the table are the timestudy in an operation of existing two elements :

Element 1 :

0.140.140.150.150.180.200.190.170.170.180.14

0.150.190.170.130.140.170.180.170.160.160.14

Element 2 :

0.090.060.050.060.070.060.060.060.070.090.07

0.060.070.070.080.070.070.070.060.060.060.07

During the time study the 1st element was rated as 90% and second at 120% .Total allowance to be given for the operation is fixed at 12%. Determine the standard time for the operation.Q 8. ABC company purchases metal bars , for which annual demand is 4500 units. It requires Rs 75 to place one order . The interest cost is 18% per anum and other costs for holding inventory is 7% per anum. The price in the market is as below :

Unit Price/ Rs unit

1-299 60

300-499 50

500 40

and more

What is the optimum quantity of order with this price break ?

Unit Price/ Rs unit

1-99 100

100- 499 95

500 90

and more

if the company has a 35% carrying cost per year and spends about Rs 300 per order determine the right order quantity.

Q 10 A print shop company manufactures its own envelops . For a production rate of 2000/hour the set up cost is Rs 7500. Average demand for envelopes is 10,000 per month.Annual cost for holding inventory is 15%. Envelopes cost Rs 500/ 1000 units in the market. A working months average is 160 hours.

a) what is the economic production quantity in months supply ?

b) If the company buys the envelopes , and the order processing cost is Rs 500 , what should be the optimum order quantity?

c) If the set up time is 2 days , what is the reorder point ?
