Question 1

Why study criticality?&#10;A) To tell you where to concentrate scarce resources&#10;B) So, you know what you can ignore&#10;C) Looks good on a chart in meetings&#10;D) You heard it was a good idea from ISO 31000

Accepted Answer

Studying criticality helps identify where to focus scarce resources, such as time, effort, and money, to ensure operational continuity and minimize the impact of disruptions.

Question 2

The RCM process requires identification of all:&#10;A) Functions and failure modes&#10;B) Processes and procedures&#10;C) Engineering tests&#10;D) Incoming sensor Data Streams, weather and conditions all transmitted to Big data in the cloud

Accepted Answer

The RCM process involves identifying all functions and failure modes of a system in order to determine the most effective maintenance approach. Processes, procedures, and engineering tests may be part of the overall maintenance plan but are not the specific focus of RCM. The option D about incoming sensor Data Streams, weather and conditions all transmitted to Big data in the cloud is not necessarily a part of the RCM process either.

Question 3

RCM was developed to improve safety and reliability on what kinds of assets initially&#10;A) Airplanes and jets&#10;B) Submarines&#10;C) Spacecraft such as the space shuttle&#10;D) Nuclear ships and subs

Accepted Answer

RCM was initially developed for improving safety and reliability on airplanes and jets.

Question 4

PMO is an excellent way to optimize your task lists by doing what?&#10;A) Removing duplicates, removing tasks with no failure modes, grouping tasks appropriately&#10;B) Removes tasks that don't satisfy ASME requirements&#10;C) Taking out tasks that are outmoded&#10;D) Taking a hard look at how the PM is done to optimize the activity.

Accepted Answer

PMO (Project Management Office) is a central unit within an organization that oversees and standardizes project management practices. One of the key functions of a PMO is to optimize task lists by removing duplicates, removing tasks with no failure modes, and grouping tasks appropriately. This helps to streamline project workflows, increase efficiency, and reduce errors. Option B and C are incorrect because PMO is not primarily responsible for ASME requirements or outmoded tasks. Option D is partially correct but does not specifically address the optimization of task lists.

Question 5

Hidden failures are a problem because&#10;A) You will not see them in normal operation and they are generally safety devices.&#10;B) These are Failures that sneak up on you or are hidden&#10;C) This denotes a part that breaks down but is hidden by other parts&#10;D) These are breakdowns that do not impact the function of the asset

Accepted Answer

Hidden failures are a problem because they are not visible during normal operation, which makes them more dangerous as they are often safety-related devices. It is important to detect and address hidden failures through regular maintenance and testing to ensure safe and reliable operation of equipment.

Question 6

When we speak about mandatory PM we mean:&#10;A) PM required by law or contract&#10;B) PM the boss says is important&#10;C) The PM that you should try hard to do&#10;D) The PM that is really stupid and management wants you to do the paperwork (but not the PM if you can help it)

Accepted Answer

Mandatory PM refers to PM that is required by law or contract, meaning it is not optional and must be completed.

Question 7

Good PM inspectors are&#10;A) Usually thorough, detailed orientated and care about doing the task right.&#10;B) Are geniuses at improvisation&#10;C) Are usually the informal shop leaders&#10;D) Like to take time off to skydive, motor cross and other fun things

Accepted Answer

Good PM inspectors are thorough and detail-oriented, ensuring that tasks are completed correctly. Being able to improvise and informal shop leadership may be beneficial qualities, but they are not essential for being a good PM inspector. Taking time off for risky activities such as skydiving and motocross may indicate a lack of responsibility and commitment to the job, which is not desirable for a PM inspector.

Question 8

A critical role of supervision is to ensure PMs are done as designed. What is one strategy to accomplish this?&#10;A) Spend time with PM people on their rounds seeing if they have any ideas to make the PM easier, more effective or shorter.&#10;B) Yell at the PM people, operators or anyone who hinders the action.&#10;C) Trick them by hiding intentional mistakes on their routes and see if they catch them.&#10;D) Wait for a breakdown to read the riot act

Accepted Answer

Spending time with PM people on their rounds and getting their input and ideas can help identify any potential issues or improvements that can be made to the PM process. This approach fosters a collaborative approach to problem-solving and also helps to build trust and mutual respect between supervisors and PM workers. The other options are not constructive or effective ways to ensure PMs are done as designed.

Question 9

Short repairs are:&#10;A) Repairs of short duration done by the PM person&#10;B) Temporary repairs are done by the PM person&#10;C) Any repair was done by anyone taking less than 60 minutes&#10;D) Part of any operator care program

Accepted Answer

Short repairs refer to repairs of short duration done by the Preventive Maintenance (PM) person.

Question 10

If you can't get access to the machine for PM your choices are&#10;A) All&#10;B) Go back to production planning and discuss requirements six months to a year in advance&#10;C) Separate task lists into non-interruptive and interruptive to reduce time requirements&#10;D) Reengineer machine to allow more PM activity without being interrupted

Accepted Answer

The answer of If you can't get access to the...
