An FMEA was constructed as part of a project to reduce invoicing errors. One of the potential
failure modes was "Incorrect Price in Computer System". Values were assigned as follows:
Severity - 8
Occurrence - 2
Detection - 9
What is the RPN for this failure mode, and which action would you recommend to improve the
RPN based on this limited data?
A) RPN=144, Error-proofing to decrease the probability of Occurrence and raise the Occurrence
score
B) RPN= 19, Error-proofing to increase the probability of Detection and reduce the Detection
score
C) RPN=144, Error-proofing to increase the probability of Detection and reduce the Detection
score
D) RPN= 19, Error-proofing to decrease the probability of Occurrence and raise the Occurrence
score
E) RPN=144, Error-proofing to increase the probability of Detection and raise the Detection
score C) RPN=144, Error-proofing to increase the probability of Detection and reduce the
Detection score
Refer to the same process FMEA on invoicing errors. The team's actions have reduced the
Occurrence value to 1, and the Detection value to 3 (Severity is still 8). A second failure mode
has also been found, for which the RPN is 42. What is the new RPN for the first failure mode,
and which next action would be most appropriate?
A) RPN=13, Review the second failure mode to determine if the RPN can be reduced.
B) RPN=24, Move on to the next project step, the highest RPN has been addressed.
C) RPN=13, Move on to the next project step, the highest RPN has been addressed.
D) RPN=24, Review the second failure mode to determine if the RPN can be reduced.
, E) RPN=24, Review the second failure mode to determine if the RPN can be increased. D)
RPN=24, Review the second failure mode to determine if the RPN can be reduced.
Which three actions are correct to improve Visual Control?
A) Re-arrange inventory by department, centralize racks, clean and organize workstations.
B) Move racks to a warehouse, display performance charts, install surveillance cameras.
C) Reduce inventory, display performance charts, install Andon boards to measure scrap.
D) Clean and organize workstations, generate daily reports on control plan status, build higher
racks.
E) Reduce inventory, clean and organize workstations, display performance charts. E)
Reduce inventory, clean and organize workstations, display performance charts.
Who determines what is or is not a Best Practice?
A) Industry trade groups.
B) International Association of Benchmarking.
C) Individual organizations based on their knowledge and experience.
D) American Society for Quality.
E) American Production and Inventory Control Society C) Individual organizations based on
their knowledge and experience.
When applying 5-S principles to improve workplace organization and efficiency, what is the first
step?
A) Set in Order (Straighten)
B) Standardize
C) Shine
D) Sort
E) Sustain D) Sort
