Question:

Nuts N' Bolts runs a highly automated process, the company monitors its equipment on a daily basis. Over each of the past three days, the company noted that the out-of-control probability for a boltmaker was .3, .45, and .7, respectively. The manager of the boltmaker operation suggested that the company initiate an investigation to determine whether the equipment was out of control. Past experience suggests that there is less than a .01 probability that an in-control process would show three consecutive increases in the out-of-control probability. The costs of leaving the process out of control are approximately twice the costs of an investigation. Would you recommend conducting an investigation? Why or why not? If you require additional information, specify the information needed.
