2. Consider the process below, with the defective rate indicated for each step: Step 1 10% Step 2 .1% a) What is the current reliability of the process? R1: 1-10%-90% R2: 1-.1% -99.9% R3:1-2% -98% so .90*.999*.98=.88111 so the reliability of the process is 88.1% b) What is the reliability of the process if one stand-by station is added in parallel to Step 1. Assume that the new station has a reliability of 85%. Step 1 10% c) Due to cost considerations, instead of adding a stand-by station to Step 1 management is considering an alternative stand-by process to Steps 2 and 3, as shown below. What is the reliability of this alternative process? Step 3 2% Step 2 .1% Stand by 1% Step 3 2%
