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

22
Q

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

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
Type of variance inherent in the system and predictable (normal or not unusual). aka random cause
Common cause control chart shows random patterns within the control limits
25
Identifies opportunities for process improvements; can also identify non-value-added activities and existing problems
Process Analysis
26
Identify a problem, discover the underlying cause that led to it and develop preventive actions
Root Cause Analysis (RCA)
27
Cause and effect diagrams, histograms, scatter diagrams
Data Representation
28
Type of decision making that can include choosing among different implementation scenarios or suppliers
Project decisions
29
Type of decision making that can include evaluating the life cycle cost, schedule, stakeholder satisfaction, and risks associated with resolving product defects
Product decisions
30
What is a cause and effect diagram also known as?
Fishbone Why-Why Ishikawa
31
Structured and independent review to ensure the project is adhering to the processes, policies, and procedures originally planned
Audits
32
Set for technical guidelines applied during design to optimize a specific asset; reliability, cost, safety, quality, etc
Design for X (Dfx)
33
Define the problem; ID the root-cause; Develop potential solutions
Problem Solving
34
Based upon findings and recommendations from quality control and audit processes or problem solving
Quality Improvement Methods
35
Joseph Juran is best associated with which concept?
The quality concept of zero defects
36
Key benefit from: to facilitate the improvement of quality processes
Manage Quality
37
Key benefit from: to provide the means to recognize variance from the plan in order to take corrective action and minimize risks
Control Costs and Control Schedule
38
Manage Quality tool that shows the strength of relationships between various factors.
Matrix diagrams
39
Manage Quality tool that is used to construct a Schedule Network Diagram
Activity on Node
40
Manage Quality tool used to determine if two factors are related
Scatter diagram
41
Manage Quality tool provides a process for creative problem solving in moderately complex scenarios that possess intertwined logical relationships for up to 50 relevant items
Interrelationship diagrams
42
Used to determine if a process has a predictable performance May be used to monitor cost and schedule variances Are usually set +/- Standard Deviations from the mean (goal) value
Control Charts
43
Used to identify and anticipate process problems
Flowcharts
44
Used to trace a problem's root cause
Fishbone diagram
45
Used to identify possible relationships between independent and dependent variables
Scatter diagrams
46
Used to compare actual or planned project practices to those of comparable projects to identify best practices
Benchmarking
47
A statistical method for identifying which factors may influence specific variables of a product or process under development or in production
Design of Experiments
48
Compares the cost of the quality step to the expected benefit
Cost-benefit analysis
49
Involves choosing part of a population of interest for inspection
Statistical sampling
