15. At Elproparts Manufacturers' integrated circuit business, managers gathered data from a customer focus group and found that any output voltage that exceeds 603.5 volts was unacceptable to the customer. Exceeding these limits results in an estimated loss of $90. However, the manufacturer can still adjust the voltage in the plant using a quick diagnostic test that costs $3.75. a. Determine the Taguchi loss function. b. Suppose the nominal specification remains at 60 volts. At what tolerance should the integrated circuit be manufactured? 15.
