Note: Data sets for several problems are available in the Excel workbook C07Data in the Student Companion Site for this chapter. Click on the appropriate worksheet tab as noted in the problem (e.g., Prob. 7-5, etc.) to access the data.
In the production of Rembrandt Transformers, any output voltage that exceeds 120 ± 10 volts is unacceptable to the customer. Exceeding these limits results in an estimated loss of $175. However, the manufacturer can repair a defective unit by changing a resistor that costs $2.50.
a. Determine the Taguchi loss function.
b. Suppose the nominal specification is 120 volts. At what tolerance should the transformer be manufactured?
