These only sell during the summer season, and because of Barney’s long lead times there is only one chance to place an order. Fred’s gravel demand distribution, based on data from past summers, follows a normal distribution with µ = 2,400 and σ = 400. Fred pays Barney $18 per bag for gravel, and then sells it to his customers for $34 per bag. If any bags are left over on September 1, Fred sells them to the local college for $10 per bag. Finally, Barney’s production costs are $12 per bag.

The manufacturer uses 12,000 of the ball bearings each year and pays the supplier $1.75 per ball bearing. Each time the supplier ships ball bearings to the manufacturer there is a fixed order cost of $250.00, and the manufacturer estimates their annual holding cost to be 40% of the cost per ball bearing.

A key jоint in а precisiоn mаchining prоcess hаs a lower specification limit of a width of 15.98 mm and an upper specification limit of 18.02 mm. The standard deviation is 0.4 mm and the mean is 17 mm. The company wants to reduce its defect probability and operate a "Six Sigma process." To what level would this company have to reduce the standard deviation in the process to meet this target?
