TV Example
Consider a comparison between the quality of color
television sets produced by two factories belonging to the
same manufacturing company. One factory (A) is located in
Japan, and the other factory (B) in America. Suppose the
comparison was based on color concentration, which
relates to the color balance of the television sets. Although
both factories used the same design, the television sets
produced in the American factory had lower quality, and
consumers consequently preferred products made in
Japan.

CASE STUDY T1
A spring is used in the operation of a camera shutter. The manufacturing process
suffers from a degree of variability, in terms of the spring constant (measured in
oz/in), which significantly effects the accuracy of the shutter times. The functional
limits for this spring constant are m0.3oz/in (m=0.5oz/in), and the average cost for
repairing or replacing a camera with a defective spring is $20.
What is the loss function? Hence, what is the loss associated with producing a spring
of constant 0.25oz/in versus the loss associated with one at 0.435oz/in.

L= k
= 0.08(10/6)2 = $0.222
Total loss per unit after improving the process:
L=0.08(10/8)2 = $0.125
Additional cost of improvement = $0.05/unit
Additional cost plus loss per unit = 0.05+0.125=$0.175
The net gain resulting from improvement in the process
capability is 0.222-0.175= $0.047 per unit of production. If
the production rate of this factory is 100,000 units per
month, then the expected savings will be $4700 per month,
or $56,400 annually.

Consider the case where the diameter of a stainlesssteel bar is m5m. The cost of repairing a defective
bar is $6, and the cost of inspection is $0.03 per unit.
Would a 100-percent inspection of items be justified?
The estimated standard deviation of the process is

Determinations of Tolerances
Solution: The loss caused by product variation from the target value, L(y), is
L(y)=k(y-m)2
where m is the target value (115V in this case) and k is the proportionality
constant.

It is assumed that the allowable varying range of the output voltage for the customer is
11525V. The allowable varying range in the plant will be different, because it is easy to
adjust the voltage to the target value by changing a resistor in the circuit. The loss or cost of
adjust to the manufacturer is $1. Substitution of this value in Equation above yields

CASE STUDY T3
In the copier industry, one measure of the acceptability of a copy is the amount of
background toner particles that adhere to the portion of the copy that is intended to be
white. Minimizing the residual toner in white areas is a smaller-is-best objective. It
has been determined that approximately half of the customers will not tolerate a
background level beyond 1.2 background units. Beyond that, a service call is placed at
a cost of $200 plus the cost of the down time of the copier - $150 per hour. If the
average copier down time is 2.5 hours, what is the associated loss function?
As time progresses, it is apparent that one copier is not enough, so a second one is
introduced. 8 sample background measurements are taken from each machine to
compare and contrast their performances. From the data below what conclusions
can you draw about the cost of this facility?

CASE STUDY T4
The seal strength of a vacuum blower housing in an office copier is an example of a
larger-the-better case. The better it can run under widely varying use environments,
the better it is for minimizing loss. When the blower seal fails to operate, it costs $40
to replace: $20 in part costs and another $20 in installation labour costs. While the
device that uses the vacuum blower sits idle, the cost to the customer is $340/hour. On
average it takes 30 minutes to replace the blower. Seal integrity is measured by testing
the seal adhesion strength. The seal level at which the vacuum loss becomes
objectionable is 20 psi.
What is the loss function and what is the loss incurred for a machine whose seal
strength is measured as 13 psi?

Example: Consider two types of cables, T1 and T2. The price and strength
for either type are proportional to the cables cross sectional area. The
prices are P1=$1750/mm2 and P2=$2250/mm2, and the strengths are
S1=220kgf/mm2 and S2=265kgf/mm2 for types T1 and T2, respectively. The
lower tolerance limit of the cables breaking strength is 20000kgf, and the
loss caused by falling below the lower tolerance limit is $58 million.
Perform tolerance design and determine the tolerance limits for the better
cable.
Solution: We first calculate the total cost for each cable (price +quality
loss). Let x be the cross-sectional area of the cable, which is the parameter
being sought.
Cable T1. The total cost C is obtained as the sum of the price and the quality
loss.

CASE STUDY T5
Consider the temperature drift in a refrigerator. The standard target for most
refrigerators is 40F. Consider the consequences of being above and below this
targeted temperature. When the temperature gets above 50F, several things can
happen that annoy the consumer. These include tepid food and drink that is not
pleasant to the taste, and spoilage due to accelerated bacterial growth. Each of these
can cause economic loss, losses due to discarding and replacement of food, and losses
due to illness from ingestion of tainted food. When the temperature gets below 30F,
there may be some damage due to ice crystals, but there should be little food lost.
When too hot the losses incurred include $50 for lost food replacement and $100 for
a service call. When too low, the losses incurred include $10 for lost food replacement
and $100 for a service call.
What are the loss functions in this case?
