Exercise $17-43($Algo$)$ Using a Taguchi Quality Loss Function $($QLF$)$ to Determine Tolerance $[$LO $17-4]$

The desired distance for Flextronchip customers is $0\mathrm{.}8mm$ between two adjacent pins. Any deviation from this value causes interference. The process of handling complaints costs the firm at approximately $$50\mathrm{.}00$ per chip. The engineers of the firm expect the average customer will be likely to complain when the distance is off target by at least $0\mathrm{.}0002mm.$ At the factory, the adjustment can be made at a cost of $$1\mathrm{.}80,$ which includes the labor to make the adjustment and additional testing.

Required:

What is the value of $k,$ the cost coefficient, in the Taguchi quality loss function $($QLF$)$ based on the above data?

Based on a Taguchi quality loss function $($QLF$),$ what should the tolerance be before an adjustment is made at the factory?

Based on your answer to $($requirement $2)$ above, what are the specification limits $($upper and lower$)$ for the production of the product in question?
