  • Please create a process map for withdrawing cash from an ATM machine as described below:

Janet needed some cash and walks up to an ATM machine.  She inserts her debit card.  The machine returns the card and the monitor reads: “could not read the card try again”.  Janet recognizes that she has entered the card in the wrong direction. She takes the card and turns it around and insert the card again.  The machine keeps the card and the monitor reads: “enter pass code”.   Janet enters a 4 digit code.  The monitor reads: “ error, try again”.
Janet enters the code again.  The monitor displays: Withdrawal? Yes  No
Janet selects Yes.  Displays shows:
“ $100, $200, $300, $400, $______”.
Janet selects  $200.   The machine pushes out 10 $20 bills.  Monitor then displays “Receipt?   Yes  No”.  Janet selects No.  Monitor displays “Take your cash”  .
The machine returns the card.  Display changes to “Thank You”.
Janet takes the cash and her card and walks away.
 
 

                       

A customer relationship manager decided to track customer complaints as part of his ongoing customer satisfaction improvement program. After collecting data for 3 months, their check sheet appears as follows:

Construct a Pareto chart including the cumulative % frequency.What is the cumulative percentage of the two highest priority issues?

3)   A quality control engineer monitors the quality of a cylinder production line.    He regularly selects a sample of 5 units and measures the diameters.  The specification requires the diameter to be 6 inches plus/minus 0.1 inch.  The following is a record of the measurements.  Is the production process in control?   Please use X bar and R charts to make an assessment.

  • For the above problem if the true mean and standard deviation of the process are 6.05 and 0.04,

 

  • Is the process capable of meeting its specification? Calculate its CP and CPk.

 

The process is capable of meeting the specification laid out.

 

Cpk = min(USL – μ, μ – LSL) / (3σ)

 

Cpk=min(6.28001125-0.1, 0.1-5.67848875)/3×0.04

  • A project manager at Global Design Corporation has collected the following data on the size of software programs and the length of programming time. The company is bidding on a new system that is estimated to consist of 300,000 lines of code.  Use the data to find the correlation function of coding time to the program size and estimate the number of days it would take to code the system.

  • A project manager has developed the following data on a

 

 project tasks and durations by weeks.   

 

  •  Please create an AON diagram, identify the critical path and the expected project duration.   

 

 

  • The customer has asked for a 99% confidence on the project completion date.  Calculate the number of additional weeks the project manager needs to make that commitment.

Critical Path take the longest path= 36

 

 Expected completion of the project = 36 weeks

  

  • It takes one week to have less time =36-1. To be 35 weeks. The variance of activities =0.11+5.44+0.44+0.44+1= 7.43

 

Standard deviation would be = 2.723

 

Z score would be 35-36/2.723 = -0.37

 

From table probability would be= 0.35569

 

 Which is the same as 35.569
