A company making tires for bikes is concerned about the exact width of their cyclocross tires. The company has a lower specification limit of 19.930 mm and an upper specification limit of 20.070 mm. The standard deviation is 0.18 mm and the mean is 20.000 mm. b. The company now wants to reduce its defect probability and run a "six-sigma process." To what level would they have to reduce the standard deviation in the process to meet this target? (Round the answer to 5 decimal places.)

Keshawn used to work for an it company in baltimore, but lost his job when his company decided to use workers in new delhi instead. this is an example of:

Thomas kratzer is the purchasing manager for the headquarters of a large insurance company chain with a central inventory operation. thomas's fastest-moving inventory item has a demand of 6,000 units per year. the cost of each unit is $100, and the inventory carrying cost is $10 per unit per year. the average ordering cost is $30 per order. it takes about 5 days for an order to arrive, and the demand for 1 week is 120 units. (this is a corporate operation, and the are 250 working days per year.)a) what is the eoq? b) what is the average inventory if the eoq is used? c) what is the optimal number of orders per year? d) what is the optimal number of days in between any two orders? e) what is the annual cost of ordering and holding inventory? f) what is the total annual inventory cost, including cost of the 6,000 units?

There are three factors that can affect the shape of the treasury yield curve (r* t , ip t , and mrp t ) and five factors that can affect the shape of the corporate yield curve (r* t , ip t , mrp t , drp t , and lp t ). the yield curve reflects the aggregation of the impacts from these factors. suppose the real risk-free rate and inflation rate are expected to remain at their current levels throughout the foreseeable future. consider all factors that affect the yield curve. then identify which of the following shapes that the us treasury yield curve can take. check all that apply.a. downward-sloping yield curveb. upward-sloping yield curvec. inverted yield curve
