Question

Process Yield

Perez Inc. manufactures various types of furniture including couches, tables, and chairs. During April, wood for 1,000 tables entered into the cutting process where wood is cut to design specifications. After the cutting process, the tables entered into assembly, laminating/ painting, and packaging processes. Quality control rejected the following tables from the cutting, assembly, laminating/painting, and packaging/shipping processes.

Manufacturing Process		Number of Tables Failing Inspection
Cutting			60
Assembly			15
Laminating/Painting			25
Packing/Shipping			5
