The Pitman arm on a car costs $105 to repair. Compute the quality loss function for losses incurred as a result of deviation from a target where a tolerance of 10 mm plus or minus 0.15 mm is required and the mean squared deviation from the target is (0.16)².

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The quality loss function L = k * (mean squared deviation), where k = cost / tolerance^2. Here, k = 105 / (0.15)^2 = 4666.67. Thus, L = 4666.67 * (0.16)^2 = 119.04, approximately 119.
