Q

The process of translating the quality management plan into executable quality activities that incorporate the organization’s quality policies into the project

A

Manage Quality

21
Q

The term that means the values of repeated measurements are clustered and have little scatter

A

Precision

22
Q

The term that means that the measured value is very close to the true value

A

Accuracy

23
Q

Type of variance that is not inherent in the system, not predictable, and is intermittent

aka assignable cause

A

Special cause

control chart would show this falling outside the control limits

24
Q

Type of variance inherent in the system and predictable (normal or not unusual).

aka random cause

A

Common cause

control chart shows random patterns within the control limits

25
Q

Identifies opportunities for process improvements;

can also identify non-value-added activities and existing problems

A

Process Analysis

26
Q

Identify a problem, discover the underlying cause that led to it and develop preventive actions

A

Root Cause Analysis (RCA)

27
Q

Cause and effect diagrams, histograms, scatter diagrams

A

Data Representation

28
Q

Type of decision making that can include choosing among different implementation scenarios or suppliers

A

Project decisions

29
Q

Type of decision making that can include evaluating the life cycle cost, schedule, stakeholder satisfaction, and risks associated with resolving product defects

A

Product decisions

30
Q

What is a cause and effect diagram also known as?

A

Fishbone
Why-Why
Ishikawa

31
Q

Structured and independent review to ensure the project is adhering to the processes, policies, and procedures originally planned

A

Audits

32
Q

Set for technical guidelines applied during design to optimize a specific asset; reliability, cost, safety, quality, etc

A

Design for X (Dfx)

33
Q

Define the problem; ID the root-cause; Develop potential solutions

A

Problem Solving

34
Q

Based upon findings and recommendations from quality control and audit processes or problem solving

A

Quality Improvement Methods

The quality concept of zero defects

36
Q

Key benefit from: to facilitate the improvement of quality processes

A

Manage Quality

37
