D.
The percentage of defective parts decreases, and the process capability index decreases.
Answers
D.
The percentage of defective parts decreases, and the process capability index decreases.
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

The percentage of defective parts is the proportion of units that do not meet the specification limits. The process capability index (Cpk) is a measure of how well the process can produce within the specification limits.Both the percentage of defective parts and the Cpk depend on the specification range and the process variation1.

If the supplier changes the tolerance range from + 0.3 mm to + 0.5 mm, the specification range becomes wider, which means that more units will fall within the specification limits and fewer units will be defective. Therefore, the percentage of defective parts decreases.

However, if the process variation remains unchanged, the Cpk will decrease, because Cpk is inversely proportional to the specification range2. A wider specification range means a lower Cpk, which indicates a lower process capability.A lower Cpk also implies a higher percentage of defective parts in relation to the process variation3.

Therefore, the correct answer is D. The percentage of defective parts decreases, and the process capability index decreases.
