Complete Solutions Latest Update
A pharmacy completed an FMEA on the process of prescription preparation. One
process element had an RPN significantly higher than all the others. Which of the
following statements is correct?
A) The process element with a high RPN is in conformance with all of the established
safety standards.
B) The process element with a high RPN is the most reliable in the process.
C) The number representing the high RPN is a benchmark for increasing the RPNs of
other elements.
D) The element with a high RPN has higher risk, and must be a top priority for corrective
action.
E) All elements with an RPN have been proved to be reliable. - ANSWER D) The element
with a high RPN has higher risk, and must be a top priority for corrective action.
Which of the following best describes External Set-up?
A) Set-up activities that occur off line B) Set-up activities that occur in idle/stand-by time
C) Set-up activities that occur in live time D) Set-up activities which are handled by
external people E) Set-up activities that necessitate inputs from external activities of
other processes - ANSWER C) Set-up activities that take place when the process is
running
A financial service company processes 3,000 account change requests per day. The
Lean Six Sigma team must calculate how many resources are required to maintain the
maximum target cycle time of 16 hours. If demand is not constant, resources can be
temporarily shifted to maximize the rate of processing. If the average, normal
processing rate is 2 per minute, what is the maximum items in process (queue) before
resources are shifted?
A) 16
B) 32
C) 120
D) 960
, E) 1920 - ANSWER E) 1920
Things-in-Process (Queue) = 16 hours x (2 Items/Minute x 60 Minutes) = 1920.
Which is one of the most crucial steps in the process of achieving continuous flow?
A) Creating a value stream map.
B) Eliminating non valued-added steps.
C) Reducing batch size toward one.
D) Calculating Takt time.
E) Convert flow to cellular design. - ANSWER C) Reduce batch size toward one.
Which of the following is a component of Design for Manufacturability?
A) Focus on using unique parts for each application.
B) Design all parts in house to ensure compatibility.
C) Use the fewest possible number of parts.
D) Specify improved process capability to allow closer tolerances.
E) Allow more variability to enable mastery. - ANSWER C) Employ the minimum number
of components possible.
When implementing a work cell, which of the following activities is NOT required in
order to create the future state map?
A) Determine if any new machinery/equipment will be needed.
B) Develop operator quality self checks for each process.
C) Map the current process.
D) Collect baseline performance data.
E) Review process step cycle times and setup times. - ANWER B) Establish operator
quality self checks for each operation.
