WGU D518 FINAL TEST 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Run charts.
Answer: Form of control chart plotted in real-time for processes that might
have common features, a common scale, or some form of central tendency
◍ Project Charter.
Answer: Includes the scope of the project, the problem statement, time
frame, boundaries, and team members.
◍ Kanban.
Answer: A Japanese word that can refer to a sign or a marker and means
"visible record." Most often associated either with the movement of a
container of parts or with the production of parts to fill an empty container.
Accordingly, two types of kanban are generally used, the conveyance
kanban and the production kanban
◍ Deming.
Answer: Had a 14-point quality plan Statistical Process Control
(SPC)"System" caused defects, not employees Endorsed the elimination of
fear in the organization Modified Walter Shewart's Plan-Do-Check-Act
(PDCA) to Plan-Do-Study-Analyze (PDSA)
◍ Product facility strategy.
Answer: Means that one facility is responsible for producing one product or
product line and shipping that product throughout the country and the world.
This approach is appropriate when the production process is complex and
hard to control, such as making ceramic heat shields for spacecraft.
◍ Six Sigma.
Answer: A continuous improvement strategy that relates to the firm's ability
to produce error free products. Specifically - 3.4 defects per 1 million units.
, DMAIC o Define o Measure o Analyze o Improve o Control
◍ Facility location.
Answer: The placement of a facility with regard to a company's customers,
suppliers, and other facilities with which the company interacts based on
quantitative and qualitative factors. Quantitative factors are easily
measurable and are usually assigned a numerical value, while qualitative
factors are more subjective and are usually not enumerated.
◍ Supply Chain Management.
Answer: Taking actions to have all members of the supply chain work
together to coordinate their activities and share information
◍ Adjustment.
Answer: Adds or reduce capacity in small or large amounts as consumer
demand changes; triggered by major changes to process or system
◍ Dependent demand.
Answer: Usually demand for an item that is generated by a company's
production process.
◍ Six Sigma: Measure.
Answer: __________ current state or "as is", process performance is
accomplished with a process map of the activities performed at each step of
the process. Each step is assessed to determine the ability to meet customer
specification in a capability analysis.
◍ Perpetual Inventory System.
Answer: Continuously monitors inventory levels and is also called a
continuous review system. Requires human input (i.e. cashier) and the
ordering of more inventory is triggered by reorder point.o Requires an exact
inventory balance at all timeso Best for big businesses, retail stores, or
bankso High value and high volumeo Expensive to implement and maintain
◍ Time fences.
Answer: Boundaries between periods in the planning horizon.
, ◍ Just in Time 2 (JIT II).
Answer: Relationships with suppliers are further strengthened beyond
vendor managed inventory in which the supplier places a representative on
the customer's site that is dedicated to the customer's products only.
Although an employee of the supplier, this person is authorized to purchase
material for the customer.
◍ External orientation of quality.
Answer: Fitness for use for the customer or the capacity to satisfy customer's
needs.
◍ Value Stream Mapping.
Answer: An overview of an entire process, from beginning to end, with
regard to the VOC, and identifying what is required to meet the customer's
needs.
◍ Quantity discount model.
Answer: A discount offered in price for ordering above a specified amount
◍ Design capacity.
Answer: The maximum achievable output of a process or system.
◍ Efficiency Rate.
Answer: A metric, or measure, used to determine how much effective
capacity is actually being used to achieve output. Efficiency = Actual
Output / Effective Capacity
◍ Statistical process control (SPC).
Answer: The use of statistical methods to determine when a process that
produces a good or service is getting close to producing an unacceptable
level of defects.
◍ Strategic Alliance.
Answer: An agreement between two or more parties to pursue a set of
agreed upon objectives needed while remaining independent organizations.
Identify, Exploit, Subordinate, Elevate, Don't stop now.
