A team comprising of a design engineer, a manufacturing engineer, and a production supervisor are involved in developing specifications for a new product. The design engineer specifies an Upper Specification = 100.005 mm and Lower Specification = 99.995 mm. The manufacturing engineer has identified a manufacturing process whose behavior exhibits a normal distribution with a mean of 100.001mm and standard deviation of 0.002 mm. Now assume that we are allowed to modify (upgrade) the process. The specification limits remain unchanged. Assume that process mean can be adjusted to any desired value at a very low cost. Which one of the following values of process mean and process standard deviation would be closest to the best recommendation to increase the chance of producing good parts to 99.8%? Mean of 100.001 mm and standard deviation of 0.00113 mm Mean of 100.00 mm and standard deviation of 0.00162 mm O Mean of 100.00 mm and standard deviation of 0.00111 mm Mean of 100.00mm and standard deviation of 0.002 mm
