Question 1

A graphic representation of a process is called a Flowchart.

Accepted Answer

A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents a workflow or process, showing the steps as boxes of various kinds, and their order by connecting them with arrows.

Question 2

Attributes data are something resulting from measurement.

Accepted Answer

Attributes data refer to data that are counted for recording and analysis, such as the number of defective items in a batch, rather than measured on a continuous scale.

Question 3

The diamond shaped symbol on a flowchart denotes an input or an output.

Accepted Answer

The diamond-shaped symbol in a flowchart represents a decision point, not an input or output.

Question 4

FMEA is a tool to deal with potential product failures.

Accepted Answer

FMEA, which stands for Failure Modes and Effects Analysis, is a systematic, proactive method for evaluating a process to identify where and how it might fail and to assess the relative impact of different failures, in order to identify the parts of the process that are most in need of change.

Question 5

Design of experiments is a very sophisticated method for experimenting with processes with the objective of optimizing them.

Accepted Answer

Design of experiments (DOE) is a systematic method used to plan, conduct, analyze, and interpret controlled tests to evaluate the factors that control the value of a parameter or group of parameters. This approach is used to optimize processes by identifying the relationship between factors affecting a process and the output of that process.

Question 6

Variables data concern measured values such as dimensions, weight, etc.

Accepted Answer

Variables data refer to data that can be measured and quantified, such as dimensions, weight, temperature, and other measurable attributes.

Question 7

The purpose of the Pareto Chart is:&#10;A) To identify and isolate the causes of a problem&#10;B) To show where to apply resources by revealing the significant few from the trivial many&#10;C) To collect variables data&#10;D) To determine the correlation between two characteristics

Accepted Answer

The Pareto Chart is primarily used to highlight the most significant factors among a larger set of factors. It is based on the Pareto Principle, which suggests that a small number of causes often lead to a large portion of the problem, hence guiding where to apply resources for the greatest impact.

Question 8

Frequency Distribution Diagram is another name for a:&#10;A) Pareto Chart&#10;B) Fishbone Diagram&#10;C) Scatter Diagram&#10;D) Histogram

Accepted Answer

A Frequency Distribution Diagram is another name for a Histogram, which is used to plot the frequency of data points in consecutive, non-overlapping intervals.

Question 9

Which chart is often referred to as a trend chart?&#10;A) Control Chart&#10;B) Run Chart&#10;C) Pareto Chart&#10;D) Scatter Diagram

Accepted Answer

A Run Chart is often referred to as a trend chart because it displays data points over a period of time to identify trends or patterns.

Question 10

Which of the following is used to show correlation of two variables?&#10;A) Run Charts&#10;B) Histograms&#10;C) Scatter Diagram&#10;D) Stratification

Accepted Answer

Scatter Diagrams are used to show the relationship or correlation between two variables, illustrating how one variable is affected by the other.

Question 11

Which of the following reveals whether process variation is the result of a special cause?&#10;A) Control Chart&#10;B) Check Sheet&#10;C) Pareto Chart&#10;D) Run Chart

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following reveals whether process...

Question 12

Which of the following is an example of attribute data?&#10;A) Voltage&#10;B) Accepted/rejected&#10;C) Dimensions&#10;D) Weight

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is an example...
