Question

The computer hardware company requires all of its chips purchased from its supplier of computer chips to meet specifications of 1.2 cm with the margins of error of plus and minus 0.1 cm. Based on the computer chip supplied last month, the mean length of a computer chip was 0.9 cm. What are the elements that the production manager should consider in determining his company's ability to produce chips that meet specifications

Answer 1

Explanation:

The computer hardware company requires all of the chips purchased from its supplier of computer chips to meet the specification of 1.2 centimeters, with error margins of -0.1cm and +0.1cm

This means that the required length of computer chips is between 1.1cm - 1.3cm

Where 1.1cm = [1.2 - 0.1]

1.3cm = [1.2 + 0.1]

Based on the computer chips supplied last month, mean length was 0.9cm. This means that most of the chips were (in length) less than the lower boundary of 1.1cm.

The element that the production manager should consider in determining his company's ability to produce chips that meet specification is:

- The length of the chips.

The length of the chips his production team produces should be tailored to meet the length specification of his client.
