- A milk vendor incurs an overstocking cost of Rs. 2 per litre and a shortage cost of Rs. 0.5 per litre. The demand is uniformly distributed between 1 litre and 6 litres. Using the Newsvendor Model, the maximum quantity of milk in litre(s) the vendor should order is
- The specification limits for the weight of a product are 13.1 kg and 15 kg. If the process has a variance of weight 0.05 kg2, then the process capability index is
- On an average, there are 30 customers in a queue. If the arrival rate of customers into the system is 16 customers per hour and on average 32 customers leave the system per hour, then the average number of customers in the system is

In an EDM process using RC relaxation circuit, a 12 mm diameter through hole is made in a steel plate of 50 mm thickness using a graphite tool and kerosene as dielectric. Assume discharge time to be negligible. Machining is carried out under the following conditions:Resistance 40 ΩCapacitance 20 μFSupply voltage 220 VDischarge voltage 110 VThe time for one cycle, in milliseconds, is
