Six Sigma Lean & DFSS UPDATED Exam
Questions and CORRECT Answers
The risk priority number (RPN) is the measure of risk related to a particular failure mode. The
ratings for each category (severity,occurrence, and detection) are on a 1to 10 scale. If a FMEA
has 10failure modes with RPN numbers ranging from 50 to 300, an Improvement team's
recommended actions should focus on which of the following?
a. Work on those failure modes with RPNs greater than 50
b. Use the Pareto principle to prioritize the
highest RPNs
c. Identify failure modes with high severity rankings, followed by high RPN numbers
d. Use the Pareto principle and start with the
top 20% of the failure modes - CORRECT ANSWER -
The production of product in large lots has what advantage?
a. Maximization of machine efficiencies
b. Longer customer delivery lead times
c. Additional product transportation expenses
d. Potential product damage or deterioration costs - CORRECT ANSWER -
A process FMEA is generally performed:
a. Just after the design FMEA is completed
b. Just before the production tooling is authorized
c. Just after the design drawings are finalized
d. As soon as a manufacturing defect is
uncovered - CORRECT ANSWER -
, Why is DFSS called the future of six sigma?
a. There are few remaining DMAIC projects available in most companies
b. DFSS roadmaps are more attractive than DMAIC tools
c. DFSS better serves the current innovation initiatives of many companies
