FMEA and Design for Six Sigma
Questions with Detailed Verified
Answers
Question:Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) uses several tools.
Match the name of each tool to the corresponding description.
Ans: DOE - helps determine the effects of inputs (factors) on outputs
(responses)
FMEA - is used to analyze how failures may influence design parameters
Robust design optimization - results in an optimal design that is immune to
various types of failures
QFD - helps translate customer needs into technical requirements
Question: Which of these situations call for a DFSS strategy?
Ans: - a cell phone company has designed a new phone to meet..
- a university has implemented a range of six sigma projects..
- a travel agency is upgrading its booking software and ..
Question: There are specific activities to perform and questions to ask at each
stage of the DMADV methodology.

Match each stage of DMADV with the corresponding question to ask at that
stage.
Ans: Define - what are the project's goals?
Measure - what are the specifications for the product?
Analyze - which of the design options will best meet customer needs?
Design - does the product achieve customer levels, or does it need to be
reworked?
Verify - does the final design performance have the ability to meet customer
needs?
Question: Match the methodology with its corresponding characteristics.
Ans: DMADV - completely redesigns a process or product
DMAIC - improves on existing product or process , the final outcomes do not
rquire verification
IDOV - creates a new process. a DFSS methofolgy modified by General
Electric
Question: What are some characteristics of FMEA?
