Question

(9) A Network engineer (a.k.a. PM) needs to determine if the manufacturing process planned for the new micro-satellites will meetquality standards. Each satellite takes about 3 days to manufacture and costs 125 thousands. They areso small that inspection would destroy. What should the PM do?

a- Outsource the inspection to another company with more experienceb- Evaluate the attribute of the populationc- decrease the cost of qualityd- Inspect a sample of satellites

What should the PM do? a-Orutsource the inspection to another company withmore experienceb- Evaluate the atribute of the populationc decrease the cost of qualityd- Inspect a sample of satellites

Explanation / Answer

Option b Evaluate the attributes the population.

Since the satellites are delicate and will be destroyed upon inspection so outsourcing to another company is not viable. Since the quality standards are already specified so reducing quality is not an option. Also each cost prohibitivly high at 125 thousand and take 3 days to build, so there are limited samples to choose and testing a sample is not viable. This leaves us with option b to study the attributes of the population and manufacturing process
