Halpert Corporation

Halpert’s quality rate was:

 

d. 0.85

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Actual run time this week = 2,500  

Minutes Machine time available per week = 3,125  

Minutes Actual run rate this week = 2.4 unit per minute  

Ideal run rate = 3.2 Units per minute  

Defect-free output this week = 5,100 Units  

Total output this week (including defects) = 6,000 Units

Quality rate = Defect-free output/Total output

= 5,100/6,000

= 0.85
