Accepted Answer

The answer of True or False: The SS method involves...

Question 2

True or False: In the United States, the control limits on a control chart are placed so that they are
3 standard deviations above and below a central line.

Accepted Answer

Control limits on a control chart in the United States are typically set at 3 standard deviations above and below the central line, which represents the process mean. This is a common practice in statistical process control to identify variations that are statistically significant.

chart to be out-of-control when the R chart is in control.

Accepted Answer

The answer of True or False: It is not possible...

Question 5

True or False: A master black belt is among the tools of Lean Six Sigma.

Accepted Answer

A master black belt is a role or certification level in Lean Six Sigma, not a tool.

Question 6

True or False: Quick Changeover Techniques is among the tools of Lean Six Sigma.

Accepted Answer

Quick Changeover Techniques are part of Lean methodologies, which are integrated into Lean Six Sigma to improve efficiency and reduce waste.

Question 7

Which of the following is a method for breaking process into a series of steps in order to
Eliminate defects and produce near perfect results?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which of the following is a method...

Question 8

True or False: Champions is among the tools of Lean Six Sigma.

Accepted Answer

The answer of True or False: Champions is among the...

Question 9

True or False: The R chart is a control chart used to monitor a process mean.

Accepted Answer

The R chart is used to monitor the variability or dispersion of a process, not the process mean. The X-bar chart is used to monitor the process mean.

Question 10

Determining the root causes of why defects can occur along with the variables in the processthat cause these defects to occur involves which part of the DMAIC process?

Accepted Answer

The Analyze step in the DMAIC process is specifically focused on identifying the root causes of defects and determining the variables that contribute to those defects. This step involves analyzing data collected in the previous steps and using various tools and techniques to investigate potential causes.

Question 11

True or False: Poke-Yoke devices is among the tools of Lean Six Sigma.

Accepted Answer

Poka-Yoke devices are used in Lean Six Sigma to prevent errors by designing processes that make it difficult to make mistakes, thus ensuring quality and efficiency.

Question 12

The cause of variation that can be reduced only by changing the system is ______ cause
variation.

Accepted Answer

The answer of The cause of variation that can be...

Question 13

True or False: The focus of Lean Six Sigma is on removing non-value added steps and waste
which can exist in any part of an organization.

Accepted Answer

Lean Six Sigma aims to improve efficiency by eliminating waste and non-value-added activities across all areas of an organization.

Question 14

_______ causes of variation are correctable without modifying the system.

Accepted Answer

The answer of _______ causes of variation are correctable without...

Question 15

Maintaining the gains that have been made with a revised process in the long term by avoiding
Potential problems that can occur when a process is changed involves which part of the DMAIC
Process?

Accepted Answer

The Control phase of the DMAIC process is focused on maintaining the improvements made and ensuring that the process continues to operate at the improved level over the long term.

Question 16

Which of the following is not part of the DMAIC process in Six Sigma management?

Accepted Answer

The DMAIC process in Six Sigma management stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. "Do" is not part of the DMAIC process.

Question 17

True or False: SS method is among the tools of Lean Six Sigma.

Accepted Answer

The SS method, which stands for Six Sigma, is a key component of Lean Six Sigma, a methodology that combines lean manufacturing principles with Six Sigma tools to improve process efficiency and quality.

Question 18

True or False: Referring to Scenario 19-8, based on the  
chart, it appears that the process is in
control.

Accepted Answer

The answer of True or False: Referring to Scenario 19-8,...

Question 19

True or False: The p chart is a control chart used for monitoring the proportion of items that meet
given specifications.

Accepted Answer

A p chart is a type of control chart used in statistical process control to monitor the proportion of defective items in a process over time.

Question 20

True or False: Total Production Maintenance is among the tools of Lean Six Sigma.

Accepted Answer

Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) is a tool used in Lean Six Sigma to improve equipment efficiency and eliminate waste.
