Taguchi Loss Function:

L(x)= k(x-T2)
L(x)= 6,800(6.05-6.00)2
L(x)=6,800(0.05)2
L(x)=$17 per part

38.
Taguchi Loss Function:
L(x)= k(x-T2)
150= k(0,02)2
k= 375,000

39.
a.
Taguchi Loss Function:
L(x)= k(x-T2)
L(x)= 40,000(0.1)2
$400=40,000(0.01)
Therefore, the economic loss of one failed part is $400.

b.
Total cost of Failure= 1,862 failures x $400 per failure
Total cost of Failure= $744,800
Therefore, the economic loss of failure is $744,800.

c.
L(x)= k(x-T2)
L(x)= 40,00(0.05)2
L(x)=40,000(0.0025)
L(x)=$100
Therefore, the economic loss of one failed part is $100.

d.
Total cost of Failure= 931 failures x $100 per failure
Total cost of Failure= $93,100
Therefore, the economic loss of failure is $93,100.

e.
Total Savings= $744,800- $93,100
Total Savings= $651,700
Therefore, total savings is $651,700.

Reliability (page 134-135)

41.
Series System Reliability:
RaRbRcRd= (0.96)(0.87)(0.92)(0.89)
RaRbRcRd= 0.6839 or 68.39%
Therefore, the reliability of the process is 0.6839 or 68.39%.

42.
Series System Reliability:
RaRbRc= (0.90)(0.80)(0.96)
RaRbRc= 0.6912or 69.12%
Therefore, the reliability of the process is 0.6912 or 69.12%.

43.
Parallel System Reliability:
0.99968=1-(1-0.992)(1-P2)
0.99968=1-(0.008)(1-P2)
0.99968=1-(0.008-0.008P2)
0.99968=1-0.008+0.008P2
-0.008P2= 1- 0.008-0.999968
-0.008P2=0.007768
P2=0.96 or 96%
Therefore, the reliability of the second component is 0.96 or 96%.

44.
Series System Reliability:
0.893592=(0.96)( P2)(0.97)
P2=0.96
Therefore, the reliability of the second component is 0.96

45.
Parallel System Reliability:
=1-(1-0.98)(1-0.98)
=1-(0.02)(0.02)
=1-0.0004
=0.9996

Percent improvement:
0.9996-0.98/0.98 = 2%
Based on the computation, the percentage improvement in reliability of adding the second fan
provide only 2%. Therefore, the extra cost and space to add the second fan may not justify it.

46.
BC:
Reliability= 1-(1-0.82)(1-0.87)
Reliability= 1-(0.18)(0.13)
Reliability= 1-0.0234
Reliability= 0.9766

Series Reliability of A and the BC composite subsystem:

Reliability=(0.94)(0.9766)
Reliability=0.918 or 91.8%

47.
a.) Original Process:
RARBRC=(0.85)(0.85)(0.99)
RARBRC= 0.71525

New Process:
Parallel System Reliability:
RAD or RBD=1-(1-0.85)(1-0.95)
RAD or RBD= 0.9925

RADRBDRC=(0.9925)(0.9925)(0.99)
RADRBDRC= 0.9752

Improved process= 0.9752-0.71525

Improved process= 0.25995 or 26%
Therefore, the new reliability of the improved process is 26% more than the original process.

b.)
RAD or RBD= 1-(1-0.95)(1-0.95)
RAD or RBD= 0.9975

RADRBDRC=(0.9975)(0.9975)(0.99)
RADRBDRC=0.9851
