ARM 401: Extra Study Segment A UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
1. Safety RCA accident analysis / occupational safety and health
2. Production RCA quality control/ industrial manufacturing
3. Process Flow RCA similar to production/ business processes; analyzes specific processes from input
to output; reviews a firms activities, relationships, and metrics; the goal is to make
the process analyzed run more eflciently, flexibly, quickly, or cost-effectively
4. Failure RCA failure analysis/ engineering and maintenance
5. Systems RCA combine all four/ change/ systems analysis concepts
6. Steps of RCA 1: collect data
2: chart causal factors
3: identify root cause
4: determine and implement recommendations
7. Goal of FMEA ensure customer safety and quality products; uses a team rather than an individual;
team identifies potential failures @ each step in a process and charts the likely
consequences of those failures
8. Steps of FMEA 1: determine slope and objective
2: assemble a team
3: define components and function
4: for each, identify potential causes and effects of failure
5: develop responses to prevent/ mitigate
9. Criticality Analy- Number
