Suppose that the design specifications for a hydraulic cylinder are $10\mathrm{.}00+-0\mathrm{.}10$ centimeters and that the Taguchi loss function is estimated to be $-T.$ Use the Excel template Taguchi to answer the following questions:

a$.$ Determine the estimated loss for a production order if the quality characteristic under study takes on a value of $10\mathrm{.}04$ and $100$ parts are produced. Round your answer to the nearest follar.

$

b$.$ Assume the production process is recalibrated weekly and a new sample of cylinders after recalibration reveals an $x-$bar of $9\mathrm{.}789.$ Determine the estimated loss for $100$ parts. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.

$

What action, if any, is needed in this situation?

In the economic loss is lower and actual process performance is closer to the target design specification than in recalibration was done
