Q

What is a Fishbone diagram?

A

Looks like a timeline. Helps managers analyze problems that contribute to occurrence of defects.

48
Q

What is a Pareto diagram?

A

Bar + Line chart.
Bars have individual errors.
Lines have cumulative errors.
Helps prioritize improvement efforts.

49
Q

What is a Control chart?

A

Shows performance of a particular process within acceptable levels.

50

51
Q

What are controllable costs?

A

Fixed costs that managers can impact in less than a year.

A

EVA = NOPAT - Required Return*

*Required Return = Investment * WACC

63

What is EVA?

A

Residual Income that remains after the cost of all capital, including equity capital, has been deducted.

What is residual income?

A
  1. Residual after deducting imputed interest on assets.
  2. Income in excess of a desired minimum return.
  3. Measures profitability.
67
Q

What is the formula for residual income?

A

Residual Income = Net Income - Required Return*

*Required Return = NBV Equity * Hurdle Rate

68
Q

What is a good reason to use residual income instead of ROI?

A
  1. Goal congruence is promoted.
69
Q

What is discentive to invest?

A

When, based on ROI, a manager rejects a project that may result in positive cash flows.

70
Q

What is the imputed interest rate in the residual income approach?

A

Most likely WACC.

71
Q

What is the formula for Profit Margin?

A

Operating Profit Margin = Operating Profit / Sales
Net Profit Margin = Net Income / Sales

Profit Margin = ROI / Asset Turnover

72
Q

What is the formula for ROE?

A

ROE = Profit Margin * (Sales / Assets) * (Assets / Equity)

73
Q

How do you calculate Required Costs to Achieve Target Income?

A

Required Costs = Revenue Forecast - Target Income

*Target Income = Residual Income

74
Q

What are the attributes for TQM?

A
  1. Customer needs.
  2. Continuos improvements.
  3. Quality circles.
75
Q

What are Control Charts?

A

They show whether there is a trend toward improved quality conformance or deteriorating quality conformance.
Has three horizontal lines: 1. Upper limit, Average, Lower limit, and then dots show trends.

76
Q

What is a Pareto Diagram?

A

Looks like a fishing pole!
Shows what quality control issues are most frequent and which ones need more attention.

77
Q

What is a Fishbone Diagram?

A

Analyzes in deep those quality control issues found on the Pareto Diagram.
