that process. To assure our data is accurate and precise, we must begin its collection by
creating a _______. - (correct answer)Measurement System Analysis
Which of the following category represents data that cannot be ordered and for which
no arithmetic can be performed? - (correct answer)Nominal Scale

customer needs is an example of which of the Seven Elements of Waste? - (correct
answer)Overproduction

"normal" enough for our purposes. - (correct answer)False
In Six Sigma, a _____ applies Six Sigma to their own work responsibilities. They don't
lead process improvement teams, but they may work on teams. - (correct
answer)Yellow Belt
Hard savings are projected reductions that should result from the project. For example,
savings from less inventory, reduced testing, lower cycle times, improved yields, lower
rework rates, and reduced scrap. - (correct answer)False
