Full Marks : 100 ( 50 marks for each group ) Use a separate Answer-Script for each group. GROUP A Answer Question No. 5 and any two from the rest. a) Explain the following with necessary sketches : i) Off-line inspection ii) On-line / in-process inspection iii) On-line / post-process inspection. b) What are meant by inspection or no inspection? A production run of 10,000 parts has been completed and a decision is needed whether to 100% inspect the batch. Past history with this part suggests that the fraction defect rate is around 003. Inspection cost per part is Rs. 1200. If the batch is passed on for subsequent processing, the damage cost for each defective unit in the batch is Rs. 48000. Determine (i) batch cost for 100% inspection (ii) batch cost if no inspection is performed (iii) what is the critical fraction defective value for deciding whether to inspect? 2. 8 34
