to have a m inim um Cpk value of 1.3 for the resistors. Due to the way the process that makes the resistors works, it is less expensive by $0.05 per resistor to manufac ture the resistors at a nom inal of 9.95 ohms instead of at 10.00 ohms. Through adjustments it has been possible to reduce the standard devia tion to half of its original value, to 0.0125, and it has been deemed ap propriate to adjust the mean of the process to 9.95 ohms
