Exam 7: Process Strategies

A non-profit organization is planning a raffle to raise money. It has two options for tickets. The first option is to do the tickets by hand, with fixed costs of $50 and variable costs of $.05 per ticket. The second option is to outsource production. This would result in fixed costs of $500 and variable costs of $.01. If the organization plans to sell 10,000 tickets which option should it choose?

Question 62

A consultant has been brought in to a manufacturing plant to help apply Six Sigma principles. Her first task is to work on the production of rubber balls. The upper and lower spec limits are 21 and 19 cm, respectively. The consultant takes ten samples of size five and computes the sample standard deviation to be .7 cm and the sample mean to be 19.89 cm. Compute C_p and C_pk for the process. Give the consultant advice on what to do with the process based on your findings.
