Many auto manufacturers have automated a portion of their assembly
lines by introducing a smart product. The smart product performs
repetitive tasks, such as making the same weld on each vehicle frame as
it passes the smart product. These smart products, which can be fixed or
mobile, reduce repetitive motion injuries. They can also be used to
perform dangerous tasks and for heavy-lifting jobs. These smart
products are called -Correct Answer- Robots.
Pacific Fuel Company stores refined gasoline in a large underground
storage tank, which is encased in a second tank, called a "double hull."
Pacific Fuel's risk manager, Merrill, is concerned that fuel could leak
from the tank and pollute the ground. To analyze this risk, he
constructed an event tree. He believes there is a 40% probability that
there will be a leak in the tank in the next five years and, if a leak occurs,
he believes there is an 80% probability that the second hull will contain
the leak. If the second hull does not contain the leak, he believes there is
a 70% chance of severe pollution and a 30% chance of minor pollution.
What is the probability of severe pollution from the tank occurring in the
next five years? -Correct Answer- .40 x .20 x .70 = 5.60%; There is a
5.6% probability of severe pollution from the tank occurring in the next
five years.
Tom, the regional manager at Westfork Mutual, has planned a
community service day for all employees. He has asked his two assistant
managers, Julian and Leah, to spread the word to other employees and
encourage them to attend. Based on centrality measures of the
company's email traffic, Tom is confident that Julian will spread the
word to more employees more quickly through email than will Leah.
Tom's confidence is based on Julian's high score in which one of the
following centrality measures? -Correct Answer- Closeness
, A disadvantage of value-at-risk (VaR) is that VaR -Correct Answer-
Does not accurately measure the extent to which a loss might exceed the
threshold.
Which one of the following is the inherent weakness of root cause
analysis (RCA)? -Correct Answer- It can only look backward.
Which one of the following team approaches to risk identification is
primarily used to design complex, scientific systems? -Correct Answer-
HAZOP is primarily used to design complex, scientific systems.
Information used as a basis for measuring the significance of a risk is
called -Correct Answer- Information used as a basis for measuring the
significance of a risk is called risk criteria.
Which one of the following steps of the risk management process
requires the risk professional to carefully balance his or her own
experience and that of the subject matter experts? -Correct Answer-
Treating risks requires the risk professional to carefully balance his or
her own experience and that of the subject matter experts.
The cost of replacing damaged property with similar property that
performs the same function but might not be identical to the damaged
property is known as -Correct Answer- Functional replacement cost.
Do-It-Yourself (DIY) is a chain of building material and home repair
stores located in the Southeastern part of the United States. DIY always
experiences a "run" on sheets of plywood and generators whenever
hurricanes occur. Customers also want fuel and bottled water when they
come to DIY after hurricanes. To speed the process of getting necessary
products to stores with the greatest need, DIY entered into a contract
with a supplier that will ship extra products overnight to stores close to
where a Category 3 or higher hurricane is expected to make landfall.
DIY uses forecast data from the National Weather Service. So far, the
