FMEA and Design for Six Sigma Questions
and Answers (Expert Solutions)
Q: List each DFSS tool. ANS 🗹🗹: DOE
RDO
FMEA
QFD
Q:DFSS tool: DOE ANS 🗹🗹: A method for understanding and controlling key process
inputs in order to obtain desired outputs.
Q:DFSS tool: Robust Design Optimization ANS 🗹🗹: A means of integrating DOE early
in the development process to create an optimal design that is immune to variations,
quality drifts, and other failures.
Q:DFSS tool: FMEA ANS 🗹🗹: A method for analyzing potential problems and how they
affect the organization or customer.
Q:DFSS tool: QFD ANS 🗹🗹: A method for developing a clear understanding of
customers' needs.
Q:DFSS tool: RDO ANS 🗹🗹: A method to integrate experiments early in the process.
Q:What does DOE stand for? ANS 🗹🗹: Design of Experiments
Q:What does FMEA stand for? ANS 🗹🗹: Failure Modes and Effects Analysis

Q:What does QFD stand for? ANS 🗹🗹: Quality Functional Deployment
Q:What does RDO stand for? ANS 🗹🗹: Robust Design Optimization
Q:Match the name of each DFSS tool to the corresponding description. ANS 🗹🗹:
Failure modes and effects analysis - Is used for analyzing potential failures.
Quality function deployment - Helps develop clear understanding of customers' needs.
Design of experiments - Is all about understanding the relationship between inputs and
outputs.
Robust design optimization - Helps create an optimal design that is not sensitive to
variations, quality drifts, or other failures.
Q:Before rolling out DFSS, you should check your company against a set of
prerequisites to determine if DFSS is really needed.
What should you take into consideration before deciding to deploy DFSS? ANS 🗹🗹:
Your organization's current Sigma levels and trends.
Your organization's prioritized project schedule.
The amount of change in your business environment.
Your organization's capacity to roll out a DFSS project.
