Explain the method of Sensitivity analysis with example?
Professor Ahmad of Oasis University gave an engineering case study to his class to analyze and comment. It is a
famous case that many universities use in engineering education. Omar, who is a student of Professor Ahmad's
class found a website that contains analysis done by many students of Western University. Omar told his close
friends Jameel and Khalid what he found. They selected three different analyses. That means each one got a well-
written and ready-made answer. Omar directly copied from what he selected. He did not even indicate the website
as a source of reference in his submission. Jameel did not directly copy from the one he selected. He rephrased
some of the sentences. He also indicated the website as a source of reference in his submission. Although Khalid
studied the sample he selected and some others samples available on that website, he wrote the analysis on his
own. He also indicated the website as a source of reference. Professor Ahmad's action is academically

CASE STUDY
You have been assigned the task of making a preliminary recommendation
for the material to be used in the bumper of a new ultra-safe crash-resistant
automobile. It is particularly important that the bumper be able to survive
the energy levels associated with low-velocity crashes, without damage to
the bumper of the automobile. Even more important, for high energy levels
associated with severe crashes, the bumper should be capable of deforming
plastically over large displacements without rupture, thereby dissipating
crash pulse energy to protect the vehicle occupants. It is anticipated that
these new vehicles will be used throughout North America, and during all
seasons of the year. A 10-year design life is desired. Cost is also an
especially important factor. Propose one or a few candidate materials
suitable for this application. (Specific alloys need not be designated).

- Design a study to identify what might be the probable ultimate cause/s of the decline in sales. For looking at the different causes, consider the box and arrow diagram given. Note the following things about the box and arrow diagram: If the arrow’s head is towards a box, that means the variable in the box (where the arrow’s head is) affects the variable in the box from where the arrow originated. E.g “Revenue/Sales” is affected by the “Number of shoppers/customers”. The boxes in grey are the variables you as a firm/owner can directly expect to affect which can further affect other variables in the model. E.g. You can incorporate training programs to improve “customer service” perceptions and, ultimately “Sales”. There is a hierarchy of the variables such that we have started from the broadest ones in thetop and then went to the finer one. The motivation for the research group here is to design a study for the store.

However, quality is used to describe a prestigious product. It is one that fits the intended customer’s requirements. Impliedly, the product should possess attributes that enables it meet the customer’s requirement or specification. Now, in identifiably distinctive manner, differentiate quality control from the others or quality assurance. ii) Briefly define hazard, when uncertainty is defined as being a situation in which the determination of risk factors is not possible. It is difficult therefore to calculate the effect of uncertainty upon the tender, and a discussion of uncertainty is out of place here.
