  • quality depends on how well the product fits patterns of consumer preferences
  • even though quality cannot be defined, you know what it is

  • prohibitively costly
  • an ultimate goal; in practice, 1 to 2% defects is acceptable

Q16 | A quality loss function utilizes all of the following costs except
  • the cost of scrap and repair
  • the cost of customer dissatisfaction
  • inspection, warranty, and service costs
  • sales costs
Q17 | Pareto charts are used to
  • identify inspection points in a process
  • outline production schedules
  • organize errors, problems or defects
  • show material flow
Q18 | Pareto charts are used to
  • identify inspection points in a process
  • organize errors, problems or defects
  • outline production schedules
  • show an assembly sequence
Q19 | Among the tools of TQM, the tool ordinarily used to aid in understandingthe sequence of events through which a product travels is a
  • pareto chart

  • poka-yoke diagram
  • kaizen diagram
  • taguchi diagram
Q22 | If a sample of parts is measured and the mean of the measurements isoutside the control limits the process is
  • in control, but not capable of producing within the established control limits
  • out of control and the process should be investigated for assignable variation
  • within the established control limits with only natural causes of variation
  • monitored closely to see if the next sample mean will also fall outside the control limits
Q23 | A quality circle holds a brainstorming session and attempts to identify the factors responsible for flaws in a product. Which tool do you suggest they useto organize their findings?
  • ishikawa diagram
  • pareto chart
  • process chart
  • control charts
Q24 | When a sample measurement falls inside the control limits, it means that
  • each unit manufactured is good enough to sell
  • the process limits cannot be determined statistically
  • the process output exceeds the requirements
  • if there is no other pattern in the samples, the process is in control
Q25 | The goal of inspection is to
