A Quality Characteristic Has a Specification (In Cm) of 0

question 29

Multiple Choice

A quality characteristic has a specification (in cm) of 0.40 ± 0.03. If the value of the quality characteristic exceeds 0.40 by the tolerance of 0.030 on either side, the product will require a $180.00 repair. In the given scenario, the Taguchi loss function is correctly represented by which of the following equations ?

• A) L(x) = 200 (x - 0.03) 2
• B) L(x) = 2,000 (x - 0.43) 2
• C) L(x) = 200,00 (x - 0.37) 2
• D) L(x) = 200,000 (x - 0.40) 2
