Our company assembles a PRODUCT (a paragraph) from COMPONENTS (letters) by typing. The product (a paragraph) assembled by our company is inspected for DEFECTS prior to shipping. A defect is defined as the letter, 'f' or 'F'. You are a final inspector of the product (paragraph). You just got trained on detecting a defect in our product! At the completion of the inspection you need to DEVALUE the product (the paragraph) based on the number of defects (f or F) in the product. The contract with the customer of our product says that, we can ship the product with defects, but we need to reduce the selling price by $1.00 per defect. The selling price of our product is $30 per paragraph The contract also states that, if the customer finds a defect (for F), $2.00 per defect will be charged to our company due to return shipping, inconvenience to the customer etc. Inspectors (YOU) need to count the # of defects in the product and enter that # in the space given the assembled product is shown below. New grading standards for hay have been proposed by the American Forage and Grassland Council and the Federal Grain Inspection Service. This publication traces the development of these standards, describes new terminology, and reports on research conducted at Oregon State University to evaluate these new standards. Alfalfa hay samples obtained from five distinct geographical areas in Oregon were subjected to various chemical analyses (crude protein, neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, in vitro dry matter digestibility, calcium, and phosphorous). Differences between values for regions and cuttings were quite small, with mean values falling within the limits presently defined as Grade 2 alfalfa hay. This indicates that management factors are more important than geographical region or cutting in determining hay quality. Write the # of defects you found in your product (the paragraph) Questions: a. Is inspection the answer to the manufacturing problem you just encountered? Now explain the answer you just stated. b. Who is responsible for the defects? c What steps will you incorporate in the manufacturing process (typing) to reduce the defects gradually (you may need to phase the changes in the manufacturing process)? d. What kind of financial information you would need to make a decision to improve/change the manufacturing process
