1. according to the taguchi loss function, which of the following is most accurate for the case illustrated? a. if the technicians costs are reduced to less than $5, the design specification should be more restrictive. b. the design specifications should be less restrictive if the technicians costs are reduced to less than $5. c. if the company decides to inspect and readjust only those units with tape speeds less than 1.84 or greater than 1.91, then the most they should pay for the technician is about $1.84 for each unit. d. in any case, if the technician cost doubles, then the corresponding specification range should double.

Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Taguchi loss function relates the cost of a product to its deviation from a target value. When the cost of inspection and adjustment (technician's cost) is high, more restrictive design - specifications are set to reduce the number of out - of - tolerance units. When the cost is low, less restrictive specifications can be used. If the technician's costs are reduced, less restrictive design specifications are appropriate as the cost of fixing out - of - tolerance units is lower.

Answer:

b. The design specifications should be less restrictive if the technician's costs are reduced to less than $5.
