7-1 Decision Analysis Exercise Your decision is whether or not to conduct a final system level factory test on a ground based radar or repair/replace the bad units in the field. The production line has been restarted to make 500 additional radars. Historically, the failure rate in the field has been 4% for units delivered without the final system level test. The cost to perform the final system test is $10,000 per radar. Unfortunately, test procedures require some disassembly and each radar tested will have to undergo some amount of rework. The cost to reassemble/reinstall each radar that passes the test has averaged $2,000. The cost to repair a radar which has failed final factory test is $23,000. Once in the field the total cost associated with repairing a defective radar is $350,000 per radar. Should you conduct 100% testing on the radars in the factory or accept the 4% failure in the field? Assume the customer is concerned with low cost.
