Question

Problem 2.2 (Part Level Submission) The Backwoods American Company produces approximately 30,851 parkas annually. The quality-management program the company implemented was able to improve the average percentage of good parkas produced by 2% each year, beginning with 78% good-quality parkas in 2012. Only about 39% of poor-quality parkas could be reworked. (a) Compute the product yield for each of the five years. * Do not enter the percentages as decimals. Do not include the percent sign in your answers. ** Round your answers to the nearest integer, the tolerance is +/-2. Year % Good-quality * Product yield ** 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

Answer 1

The solution to problem 2-2 (a):

Year	The average percentage of good parks	Good quality	Good quality	Good quality %		Product Yield	Product Yield
2012	78%	30851*0.78+30851(1-0.78)(0.39)	26710.8	(26710.8/30851)*100	87	30851(0.87)+30851(1-0.87)(0.39)	28405
2013	80%	30851*0.80+30851(1-0.80)(0.39)	27087.2	(27087.18/30851)*100	88	30851(0.88)+30851(1-0.88)(0.39)	28593
2014	82%	30851*0.82+30851(1-0.82)(0.39)	27463.6	(27463.56/30851)*100	89	30851(0.89)+30851(1-0.89)(0.39)	28781
2015	84%	30851*0.84+30851(1-0.84)(0.39)	27839.9	(27839.94/30851)*100	90	30851(0.9)+30851(1-0.9)(0.39)	28969
2016	86%	30851*0.86+30851(1-0.86)(0.39)	28216.3	(28216.32/30851)*100	91	30851(0.91)+30851(1-0.91)(0.39)	29157

The solution to problem 2-6

Process yield = 0.91*0.71*0.72*0.91*0.99*0.7 = 0.29

Product yield = 0.29* 905 = 265.5 = 266 cabinets

Product input required to achieve final weekly product yield of 905 cabinets = 905/0.29 = 3120.689 = 3121
