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

question 112

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. What is the appropriate Taguchi loss function?

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