For this question, the explanation is also here, the question is to list problems for this case. I have some ideas about the problem for this case below(1-10). But I am still wondering how to explain these ideas(1-10), like writing in paragraphs or do more explanations for these ideas.
- The samples are few?
- Range is huge
- Median(9) is a little bit high, which means that the throughput time for more items is longer.
- What is being measured for throughput?When does the measurement start and finish? Ie what is the process?
- Of the different steps in the process, what is the analysis for each step?
- Where does Johnny get his number from, the mean throughput is 10.3 and the median (9) and mode (4) are less than the mean.
- What is causing the variance and wide range?outliers? Can we run a boxplot?Since the distribution is normal (kurtosis and skewness less than 1) can we assume outliers are pulling to the right?
- What happens if we run the analysis again?
- Why did we only sample the last 15? Are these customers independent, or is there something that links them?Ie is this a random sample?
- Was the last 15 representative of the population of customers?

Question 1 [5 Marks) Your company has identied problems related to late deliveries being shipped from your warehouse. Subsequently, a team was put together to investigate the problem and you have been invited to an initial meeting to discuss some of the early results (as they've heard you're a bit of a guru when it comes to numbersl). Unfortunately, the company has not had any formal system to track orders through the process and they don't have reliable insight into the actual time between an order being initiated and the time the product is actually shipped to its customers. The company's goal is to have a mean throughput time of 10 days on customer orders. At the meeting, Johnny Knowitall states the following: \"We measured the last 15 customer orders through our system and it's far worse than we originally thought". \"According to the data we collected, we found the mean time to be approximately 10 days to ship and 95% of the orders have a mean throughput time of approx. 22 daysll\" as Johnny shows the following on a powerpoint slide: Throughput time (Days) Mean 10.33333 Standard Error 1.599603 Median 9 Mode 4 Standard Deviation 6.195236 Sample Variance 38.33095 Kurtosis -0.63034 Skewness 0.503669 Range 20 Mini mum 2 Maximum 22 Sum 155 Count 15 In your teams, develop a list of questions, comments or concerns you would have on the above ndings. Document these questions. concerns and critical analysis into a word document (i.e., managerial report)
