Note: You do not need to submit this Word answer sheet; submit all responses in MEALS as directed in the homework problem. However, keep a copy of this document in your files for future reference.Team:18Step 3: Reflect on feedback from your peers.Identify 1 or more things for the Mathematical Model dimension that your team needs to address in order to improve your work. Write out how you can or will address these things.Our model only took the number of on-time deliveries and the median into account. In order to make our analysis more in depth, we can use other factors such as mean and standard deviation, and use a point system instead of elimination to take all these factors into account when ranking the companies. We also do not have a description of what to do in case of a tie. We will add a method to break a tie between two companies.Identify 1 or more things for the Re-Usability dimension that your team needs to address in order to improve your work. Write out how you can or will address these things.We need to specify the direct user, criteria for success, and limitations/constraints more clearly. We will add clarifications that discuss the limitations to the problem and the criteria for success for the procedure.Identify 1 or more things for the Modifiability dimension that your team needs to address in order to improve your work. Write out how you can or will address these things.Our procedure did not include rationales for each step. We will add descriptions of the rationales behind each step, and also a list of all the assumptions we made throughout the procedure.Identify 1 or more things for the Share-ability dimension that your team needs to address in order to improve your work. Write out how you can or will address these things.Some of the wording on the steps was difficult to follow and understand. We will address this issue by rewording the descriptions of the steps we took and make our wording more concise. In order to make the data easier to understand, we will put our results of each step in a more organized way such as in a chart.Are there comments in your feedback that your team does not agree with? Copy and paste what you don't agree with and explain why you do not agree.One of the comments was “A median does not give an accurate depiction of the s[h]ipping company. It is only one value out of 246.” We disagree because once the values are in numerical order, the median gives a good idea of whether most of the data points are high or low. In fact the median is acknowledged as a more accurate depiction of the center than the mean in a skewed data set such as these.Are there comments in your feedback that your team does not understand? Copy and paste the comments you don't understand and explain what specifically needs to be clarified.One of the people writing a review for our procedure wrote comments that don’t make any sense or address the questions that were being asked. For example, to answer the question: Constructive feedback on how to make the procedure more re-usable. “Let the idea behind the procedure should can be used generally, and use a more gerneral way to present it.”Step 4: Revise your procedure (mathematical model) based on the new information.1. Calculate the total number times that each of the shipping companies delivered their package late by counting the number of non-zero data points in a data-analyzing program, such as Excel.2. Rank the companies for the first time based on the sums from the previous step, giving the company with the lowest total rank number 1, the second lowest number 2, and so on. This ranking will correspond with how many points the company is awarded for this round.Note: If two companies tie for a ranking at any point in calculations, for example for first place, give them both that first ranking. Give the next company the third ranking, number three, as though the second ranking was filled without the tie.3. Now calculate the mean, or average time the company was late, for each. Total the hours a company delivered the package over the time limit, then divide by the number of deliveries the company made, according to the data set provided.Note: Round the calculations to two decimal places to take account of significant figures.4. Rank the companies a second time, again giving the company with the lowest mean value the rank number 1, the second lowest mean rank number two, and so on. Again assign corresponding points according to each company’s rank.5. Now calculate the median late time for each company. Arrange the data set for a company in numerical order, and alternately cross off the highest and lowest value until a middle value is reached. This is the median. If there are two values left at the end, find the median by adding them together and dividing by two.6. Rank the companies a third and final time by again assigning the highest ranking to the company with the lowest median value. The company ranked number one will receive one point, the second ranked will receive two points, and so on in the same way as the other steps.7. Add the points that each of the companies earned from the three different rankings for a total point value for each company. Whichever company has the lowest total points will have gained the best overall rank. In case of a tie, use the ranking for the number of late deliveries as the tie-breaker. If there is still a tie, use the median ranking as the tie-breaker.http://www.vedance.com/find/design/design-details/designID/752ENGR 131—Fall 2013 Answer SheetHomework #5 Answer Sheet 5.ATeam:18Problem 5: Just-in-Time MEA Draft 2 Technical Brief Step 3: Reflect on feedback from your peers.Identify 1 or more things for the Mathematical Model dimension that your team needs to address in order to improve your work.
