A Belt working in a supply chain environment has to make a decision to change suppliers of critical raw materials for a new product upgrade. The purchasing manager is depending on the Belt's effort requiring that the average cost of an internal critical raw material component be less than or equal to $3,600 in order to stay within budget. Using a sample of 42 first article components, a Mean of the new product upgrade price of $3,200 and a Standard Deviation of $180 was estimated. Based on the data provided, the Z value for the data assuming a Normal Distribution is?
A. 1.11
B. 2.22
C. 4.30
D. 5.42
A Belt working in a supply chain environment has to make a decision to change suppliers of critical raw materials for a new product upgrade. The purchasing manager is depending on the Belt's effort requiring that the average cost of an internal critical raw material component be less than or equal to $3,800 in order to stay within budget. Using a sample of 38 first article components, a Mean of the new product upgrade price of $3,680, and a Standard Deviation of $120 was estimated. In order to increase the Long Term Z value to 5, what is the maximum long term variation in pricing the Belt can accept for his upgraded critical raw material component?
A. $6
B. $12
C. $24
D. $48
For the data set shown here which of these statements is/are true?
A. Hypothesis Testing of Means or Medians cannot be done since there are an unequal number of observations for the 3 samples
B. A Paired T-test would be applicable for comparing Grade B and Grade A since they follow each other in the data set
C. Grade A has the lowest sample Mean of the 3 samples
D. Grade A has a higher sample Mean than Grade B
Following the completion of a LSS project the Belt not only creates a Control Plan he also develops a _____________ so those involved in the process know what to do when the critical metrics move out of spec.
