PASSED SOLUTIONS!!
1. 5S: sort, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain
2. 5 whys: A technique in which you repeatedly ask the question "Why?" to help peel
away the layers of symptoms that can lead to the root cause of a problem
3. Criticality analysis allows organizations to: Identify the most significant risks
4. Criticality analysis attempts to identify: The likelihood of a risk occurring
5. Criteria for criticality analysis may include: Safety, Environmental, and Pro-
duction consequences
6. The earliest asset lifecycle phase a criticality analysis may be performed is::
During the design phase
7. The ISO standard that includes criticality analysis is:: ISO14224
8. Reliability strategy development (RSD) is based on three main techniques:-
: RCM, PMO, FMEA
9. RSD relies upon two areas of competence:: 1. Understanding of the differences
between RCM, PMO, and FMEA. 2. Identifying when and where each technique
should be applied.
10. What does RSD stand for?: reliability strategy development
11. There are many forms of RCM, PMO, and FMEA:: All of these derivates help
perform analyses cost effectively

, 12. Which of the following statements is true regarding FMEA?
1. FMEA helps designers and engineers improve the reliability of assets and
systems to produce quality products.
2. FMEA is universally applied to all new assets during the design phase.
3. FMEA governance is defined in the ISO/TS 16949: FMEA helps designers and
engineers improve the reliability of assets and systems to produce quality products
13. What does FMEA stand for?: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
14. What does RCM stand for?: Reliability Centered Maintenance
15. What does RCA stand for?: Root cause analysis
16. A preventative/planned maintenance optimization process focuses on:: -
Evaluating each PM task and eliminating unnecessary tasks or wasteful activities
17. The Reliability Engineering for Maintenance process is designed to:: Pin- point
potential areas for reliability improvement
18. Uptime divided by Uptime + Downtime equals:: Availability
19. MTBF means: Mean Time Between Failures

, 22. Root cause analysis is designed to eliminate : causes of failure
23. One of the most basic methods of root cause analysis is called: The 5 Why's
24. The first step in a root cause analysis is to: Define the problem
25. Root cause analysis should be performed by: A cross functional team
26. Root cause analysis is a continuous improvement methodology: TRUE
27. Capital projects are usually created to increase:: Capacity
28. A test to determine compliance with specified requirements is:: A accep-
tance test
29. The term for stages involved in the management of an asset is:: Lifecycle
30. Investment planning for capital projects is conducted during this phase: -
Business needs analysis phase
31. Capital projects may be driven by regulatory requirements for existing
assets:: TRUE
32. It is okay to buy a cheaper motor because you have to create a budget for the
project?: Yes
33. You always have to buy the most expensive motor. True or false?: FALSE
34. The goal of reliability centered design:: To design an asset that has the lowest
cost and lowest risk over the whole life cycle
