Assignment Due 6/6/2000
(Click here for  previous assignments)

  1. Complete the work assigned previously from Chapter 10 (ROP concepts) & Chapter 11 (EOQ concepts).

  2. Complete your reading of Chapter 2 in the text and start reading Chapter 3.  In addition, read the handout "Transformation of Western Style of Management" by Deming.  Start working on learning the 14 Points.

  3. If you haven't done so already, complete the exercises assigned previously from "Data Analysis Exercise #1".  Once you have done so, use graph paper to create a scatterplot of Salary versus Performance; label the chart appropriately, manually plot a reasonably fitting straight line through the points, and estimate the equation corresponding to the line.

  4. Prepare for Thursday's exam, which will be nearly identical to last summer's Exam 1.  Questions and responses are likely to be reordered, and problems involving calculations will involve different data.  The exam will cover material in Chapters 1, 2, 3 (including Deming's 14 Points), and 4 (not including the material in the section on reliability and serviceability), as well as the limited material we have addressed in Chapters 10 & 11.
