The key issues in Stooges' case are basically the increased volume of demand on its mallet products, expansion of operation shifts, confidence and capability of company employees and capabilities of cutting operation. In the initial control chart it can be shown that the control process is not the cause of diameter difference complained by plastic Inc. This is because; from the computed mallet diameter, the allowable dimensions need fall between 16.46 inches and 16.54 inches. So taking this value across the chart, it can be seen that all days, all shifts have recorded correct dimensions with exceptions of day two and day eight. This signifies that the error comes from the control process. Similarly, it signifies that shift increment is not the source of the diameter error.
From the control chart it can be seen that day two and eight records erroneous mallet diameters. To effectively investigate into the cause of such observations, it would be imperative to get the names of company operators who were on various shifts. In this regard, day two had Moe, Shemp and Curly. Moe and Curly were in first and third shifts which did not record such errors in the diameter. However, Shemp, in his second shift had three mallets with diameter errors. In addition, day eight had these three company operators but with Shemp being in charge of the third shift. On this day Moe and Curly had no mallet with diameter errors. However, Shemp had four mallets with diameter errors. Therefore, it can be said that the diameter problem comes from the company operators especially Shemp.
To reduce this occurrence, it would be logical for Shemp to be trained further on his operational responsibilities and production process. This is because; there is likelihood of him negligently or incompetently performing his tasks compared with other operators. So the extra hired Excelsior College graduate, responsible for operator training would be advised to be keen and thorough on training Shemp. To make this effective, the trainer as well as Shemp should be present during the analysis and resolutions on the control chart. To ascertain that Shemp has improved, another sampling should be carried out then followed with the same analysis approach as in the initial one. If errors still persist in Shemp's shifts, it would be better to shift him from company operator to a less sensitive production section.
The process capability in Stooges Company is quite perfect following facts that the company has well trained and dedicated employees. On the other hand, the control process which is recommended by the plant manager was very reliable since it is able to link the mallet diameter problem with the cause. This control process tell the company that as much there may be well trained and dedicated employees, there are some slight incompetence and negligence existing among the company operators.
Analytically, Stooges Company faces a serious problem which needs to be addressed professionally and as soon as possible. According to Lyve (2011), Slapsticks Inc is perceived as a potential Customer. Lyve says that no business can stay without satisfying the needs of customers, so Stooges has no otherwise but to address the mallet diameter which is unfavorable to their potential customer. This is because; errors in the mallet diameter may cause Slapsticks Inc to stop Stooges from supplying them with mallets. If this occurs then it would be a great business hitch to the company in a number of ways as the potential customer which initiated expansion programs would no longer be there. When Stooges expands its operation shifts and hires extra employees, it implies that it would deliver the required volumes of mallets within a given time. This would increase the business Return on assets since Return is basically the product of margin and velocity (Lyve, 2011). However, by dropping the potential customer, it would mean that the company assets, which were involved in the expansion program, would turn out to be liability to the company thus reducing asset Return to the company. Once asset Return has been reduced; Cash generation would also reduce thus forcing the company experience negative growth (Lyve, 2011). So generally it would mean that Stooges shall have not realized the four business principles like customer retention, increased asset Returns, increased Cash generation and positive Growth. On the other hand, quality reduction as claimed by Slapsticks can have negative effect on Stooges since her competitors may take this as a tool to challenge them in the market; a case which can cause loss of existing customers. Once both new and old customers are lost, the company can easily flop.
From the control chart, we have 150 mallets which are sampled. From this sample, 7 mallet heads do not meet the customer requirement. This implies that the probability of a mallet picked at random not meeting customer requirement is 7/150. Translating these on 10,000 mallets means that {(7/150) X 10,000)}. This approximates to 467 mallets.

POLL: Is anyone you know like Moe Howard's character in the Three Stooges?
I used to work with someone (he just resigned, thank God) that acted like Moe in Three Stooges. He was 5'4" (just like Moe) and was fond of being a bully and trying to get people (including me) fired.
I think Three Stooges are very funny, but when you know someone who's just like one of the characters, it makes it even more halarious.
To many people to mention!

Remembering The Three Stooges
Ahhhh...The Three Stooges...Classic slapstick comedy and an American tradition. Who hasn't seen a Stooge classic film short? But, who were these men who brought their caustic brand of physical comedy into our living rooms and theaters?
We all know them as Curly, Larry and Moe, but when they first started in1922 they were with a vaudeville act called Ted Healy and his Stooges (which was originally called Ted Healy and his Southern Gentlemen).
The ensemble consisted of Ted Healy, brothers Harry Moses Howard (Moe), Samuel Howard (Shemp) and Larry Fine (Larry). In 1931, Shemp left the group for a career in feature films, and needing a third stooge, Moe suggested his brother Jerome. Ted, not enamored with his long hair and facial hair, stated he (Jerome) was not a character like Moe and Larry. Jerome left the room and quickly returned with a shaved head and face and Curly, as we know him, was born.
In his autobiography, Moe Howard and The Three Stooges, The Stooges and Ted Healy parted company in 1934 because, as Moe recalled, of Healy's abrasiveness and alcoholism. This is when they began their Columbia Pictures film career and the Three Stooges, as most of us know them, started their long journey into comedy history.
From 1934 until 1959, the Three Stooges starred in 190 film shorts; the longest such series in film history. They also appeared in a dozen movies and entertained millions throughout the world with their catch phrases, physical routines and masterful comedy.
In 1946, Curly suffered a stroke and Shemp was asked to rejoin the group. Knowing that Moe and Larry careers and the Stooges would be finished, he reluctantly agreed to rejoin the group, but only on a temporary basis. Unfortunately, Curly never recovered and died in January of 1952.
The Stooges, with Shemp as Curly's replacement, went on to appear in 77 more short films and a feature film called Gold Raiders (1951). Additionally, in 1949, Moe, Larry and Shemp made a pilot for a Three Stooges television show called "Jerks of All Trades". The show was never picked up, but the pilot is public domain and is available on home video.
The Three Stooges dynasty took another hit when Shemp Howard died of a sudden heart attack in November of 1955 at age 60. Joe Besser replaced Shemp in 1956-57, appearing in 16 short films. Interestingly, Joe had a clause in his contract specifically prohibiting him from being hit too hard, although it was lifted as time passed. Unfortunately, the market for short films and for the Stooges had passed. Columbia Pictures, the last studio still producing short films fired the Three Stooges in 1957. (Because of contractual obligations and backlogs, final Stooge shorts weren't released until 1959). A new medium, television, had taken over.
The Stooges weren't down for long as the "rebirth" of the Stooges came rather quickly. In 1959, Columbia Pictures syndicated the entire Three Stooges film library to television and the Stooges were rediscovered by the baby boomers.
Stoogemania quickly swept across the country and Moe and Larry found themselves back in the spotlight again. But Joe Besser's wife had a heart attack and he withdrew from the act, so Moe quickly signed Joe DeRita as his replacement. DeRita shaved his head and became Curly-Joe, because he looked like the original Curly.
This version of the Three Stooges went on to make 39 short films and a few full-length movies in the late 1950's and through the 1960's. In 1969 they filmed a pilot for a new TV series called "Kook's Tour", which would have been a show about the "retired" Stooges traveling the world, with episodes filmed on location. Alas, during production, Larry suffered a stroke that ended his acting career as well as the TV series. Larry suffered another stroke in December 1974 and another month later suffered a fatal stroke and died in January 1975.
It was thought that they could carry on, several movie ideas were considered, however Moe Howard passed away in May 1975. Although Curly-Joe (Joe DeRita) did some live work with a new group of "Stooges" in the early 1970's, the Three Stooges, as we knew them, we gone.
This has been a synopsis of the lengthy careers and the phenomenon that was and still is the Three Stooges. With the advent of cable television, home video, dvds and with a loyal army of loyal fans, the Three Stooges are still entertaining the masses and will be for years to come.
