Question:

Refer to the information in Brief Exercise 17-13. What is the expected average loss (cost) per unit, E(L(x)), based on a Taguchi quality loss function (QLF), if the manufacturing process is centered on the target specification with a standard deviation (σ) of 2.0? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.


Brief Exercise 17-13

Solidtronic Inc., an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), has a product specification of 75 ± 5 (i.e., T [the target value] = 75). The cost for warranty services (when the quality characteristic, x, is either 70 or 80) is estimated as $500 per unit. What is the value of k, the cost coefficient (rounded to the nearest whole number), in the Taguchi quality loss function (QLF) for this situation?
