Question: # 2 ) A manufacturing process requires drilling a hole in a part. The average diameter of the hole is 4 9 . 1 5

#2) A manufacturing process requires drilling a hole in a part. The average diameter of the
hole is 49.15mm, with a standard deviation of 0.51mm. If the holes are too small, below the
lower specification of 47.80mm, they must be redrilled (reworked.) However, if the holes are
too big, above the upper specification of 49.80mm, the parts are scrapped. Assuming a normal
distribution, (15 points)
a) What percent of the parts are scrapped?
b) What percent of the parts are reworked?
If the process average is changed to 48.50mm(standard deviation is unchanged), with the new
average,
c) What percent of the parts are scraped?
d) What percent of the parts are reworked?
e) If rework is more economical, is the change in the process average a wise decision?
EXPLAIN your answer.
#3) Given that the customer's stated target value for the dimension of a part is 8.45mm, with
the upper and lower specifications of, US =13.62mm and the LS=1.75mm, if the process
average =8.50mm and the standard deviation =2.35mm, calculate and clearly state the process
capability index. (10 points)
