Answer :
Answer:
No, it can't perform because C_p < 1
Step-by-step explanation:
We are told that a product with specifications of ± 0.07 inches has to be processed on that machine. This means that the product is centered on the machine.
Thus;
Specification Width = 2 × 0.07 = 0.14
Now, formula for capability index is;
C_p = specification width/(6 × standard deviation)
We are given standard deviation = 0.04. Thus;
C_p = 0.14/(6 × 0.04)
C_p = 0.5833
Now, for this process, C_p should not be less than 1. However in this case it is less than 1,thus it means that the machine will not be able to perform the job.
