Q

The abbreviation for the International organization for standardization. ISO is greek for equal. The organizations elected to use ISO for all Languages.

A

ISO

17
Q

A data analysis table that shows the strength between variables and relationships in the matrix.

A

Matrix diagram

18
Q

A histogram that illustrates and ranks categories of failure within a project.

A

Pareto diagram

19
Q

According to ASQ, the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements.

A

Quality

20
Q

A management process that defines the quality system or quality policy that a project must adhere to. QA aims to plan quality into the project rather than to inspect quality into a deliverable.

A

Quality management plan

21
Q

The operational definitions that specify the measurements within a project and the expected targets for quality and performance.

A

Quality metrics

22
Q

The process of first determining which quality
standards are relevant to your project and then
finding out the best methods of adhering to
those quality standards.

A

Quality planning

23
Q

A component of a control chart that illustrates
the results of seven measurements on one side
of the mean, which is considered “out of control”
in the project.

A

Rule of Seven

24
Q

A quality control tool that shows the results of
inspection in the order in which they’ve
occurred. The goal of a run chart is first to
demonstrate the results of a process over time
and then to use trend analysis to predict when
certain trends may reemerge.

A

Run chart

25
Q

A quality control tool that tracks the relationship
between two variables over time. The two
variables are considered related the closer they
track against a diagonal line.

A

Scatter diagram

26
Q

These seven tools are used in quality planning
and in quality control: cause-and-effect diagrams,
flowcharts, check sheets, Pareto diagrams,
histograms, control charts, and scatter diagrams

A

Seven basic quality tools

27
Q

A process of choosing a percentage of results at
random. For example, a project creating a
medical device may have 20 percent of all units
randomly selected to check for quality.

A

Statistical sampling

28
Q

Flowcharts that illustrate the flow of a process
through a system, such as a project change
request through the change control system, or
work authorization through a quality control
process.

A

System or process flowcharts

29
Q

The hierarchies and decomposition of a solution, an organization, or a project team. The WBS and an org chart are examples of this diagram.

A

Tree diagram

30
Q

The science of using past results to predict future
performance.

A

Trend analysis
