The following chart displays the results of the first year's production of a new mini-car produced by GoFast Autos The table was created from data supplied by the company's entire production department managed by George Reeves, as a means of controlling production output You recently joined the production department as a quality assurance associate after grading with a degree in business. Your manager, George has asked you to do an analysis on the first year's production results. George indicated that this information will be used by the Vice President in his evaluation of areas of improvement, change, or processes used by the production department in the production of the mini-car. The company aims for the highest possible quality products for consumers. The chart below describes the standard goal (identified as standard) set by the department and the results for each branch of GoFast Autos. A comparison of the standard to the results allows the reader to form conclusions about the success or failure of the production department to meet the goals envisioned by the company. I also allows the reader to recognize patters from the data from which conclusions can be drawn as to the relationship between elements (eg cost expended vs time expended those who spent more time had a higher cost Standard Spokane El Paso Wichita Huntsville Tijuana Measurable Factors 5.65 5.76 5.87 5.54 5.525.01 Cost 2.36 2.32 2.46 2.31 2.38 2.69 Time 15 14 1.5 1.75 7.65 Quality Control Problem Ratio (per 500 units) 1 3538 45 48 25 Training Time (per hour) 0.333 0.222 0.1330.178 0.4 Shipping Problems/Damage (per 10,000 units) 25 0.25 0.2 0.286 0.111 0.1 0.4 Health and Safety Issues (per 10,000 units) 40,000 35,000 50,000 28,000 38,000 Total Number of mini-cars Produced per year 35,000 QUESTIONS 1. Explain what control means in a business setting 2. Explain why GoFast needs to be concerned with the results for the mini-car 3. Compare the actual performance with the standards for the mini-car drawing conclusions from what is evident from the data in the table. Make sure to discuss each standard and explain the results from each branch 4. Analyze the deviations. Although you do not know why results are different than the standards, determine whether more control is necessary or if the standard should be changed 5. Explain how implementing Total Quality Management can develop solutions to resolve GoFast's issues with meeting the standards and/or make changes to processes or behaviors The following chart displays the results of the first year's production of a new mini-car produced by GoFast Autos The table was created from data supplied by the company's entire production department managed by George Reeves, as a means of controlling production output You recently joined the production department as a quality assurance associate after grading with a degree in business.
