lesson 4

Question 1

A systematic method for evaluating and improving the reliability of a product or process by identifying failure modes and their effects.

Answer 1

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)

Question 2

What is RPN?

Answer 2

Risk Priority Number

Question 3

FMEA helps identify potential failure modes in a process or system and evaluates their potential effects, allowing for proactive measures to be taken to prevent or mitigate these failures.

Answer 3

Anticipates and mitigates potentials failures

Question 4

By detecting potential failure modes early in the design stage, FMEA enables improvements to the design to enhance reliability and performance.

Answer 4

Enhances product or process design

Question 5

FMEA provides a structured approach for analyzing failures and their effects, which aids in making informed decisions about prioritizing improvements or corrective actions.

Answer 5

Improve decision- making

Question 6

Answer 6

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Question 7

Refers to a manufacturing state in which the product fully conforms to its intended design and characteristics

Answer 7

Quality of conformance

Question 8

Refers to manufacturing state where the product differs in design and characteristics due to the combined natural influences in the production process.

Answer 8

Chance variation/ Random variation

Question 9

Refers to manufacturing state where the product differs in design and characteristics due to an identifiable cause that can be easily eliminated.

Answer 9

Assignable variation / Nonrandom variation
