Q

What id the difference between Quality and Grade?

A

Quality is the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements (how well it’s made, etc.) and Grade is a category assigned to deliverables having the same functional use but different technical characteristics.

18
Q

What are the 7 Basic Quality Tools (7QC Tools)?

A

1) Cause-and-Effect Diagrams, 2) Flowcharts, 3) Checksheets, 4) Parento Diagrams, 5) Histograms, 6) Control Charts, 7) Scatter Diagrams

19
Q

What is Cause-and-Effect Diagrams (Ishikawa or Fishbone)?

A

The problem statement placed at the head of the fishbone is used as the starting point to trace the problem’s source back to its actionable root cause.

20
Q

What are Flowcharts (Process Maps)?

A

Used to identify and anticipate process problems.

21
Q

What is Checksheets (Tally Sheets)?

A

Used to organize facts in a way that will facilitate the effective collection of useful data about a potential quality problem.

22
Q

What are Parento Diagrams?

A

A vertical bar chart that shows the number of defects attributable to a particular variable.

23
Q

What is Histogram?

A

A bar chart that shows how often an event occurred.

24
Q

What is Control Charts?

A

Used to determine whether or not a process is stable or has predictable performance. Use Rule of 7 - when 7 consecutive points are on one side of the mean. Process out of control when seven data points are above or below the mean. Specification Limits are set by the customer, while Control Limits are determined using standard statistical calculations and Stakeholders, which are then used by the PM and project team to determine points of corrective action.

25
Q

What is Scatter Diagram (Correlation Charts)?

A

A line graph that plots data points to show the relationship between 2 variables (X,Y). Used to identify possible relationships between independent and dependent variables.

26
Q

What is Design of Experiments (DOE)?

A

A statistical technique for identifying which factors may influence specific variables of a product and process under development or in a production.

27
Q

What is Statistical Sampling?

A

Choosing a small random sample, and the sample’s properties should represent the entire group.

28
Q

What is Benchmarking?

A

Comparing actual or planned project practices to a known standard.

29
Q

What are 3 Additional Quality Planning Tools?

A

1), Brainstorming, 2) Force Field Analysis, 3) Nominal Group Technique

30
Q

What is Force Field Analysis?

A

Diagrams of the forces for and against change.

31
Q

What is Nominal Group?

A

Technique used to allow ideas to be brainstormed in small groups then reviewed by a larger group.

32
Q

What are the outputs of Planning Quality Management?

A

1) Quality Management Plan, 2) Process Improvement Plan, 3) Quality Metrics, 4) Quality Checklist, 5) Project Document Updates

33
Q

What is Process Improvement Plan?

A

Details the steps to analyze processes to identify activities that enhance their value.

34
Q

What is Quality Metrics?

A

A description of the project or product attribute and how to measure it.

35
Q

What is Quality Checklist?

A

A structured tool used to verify that a set of required steps has been performed.

36
Q

What is Quality?

A

The degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfills requirements.

37
Q

What are the importance of ISO 9000?

A

1) Customer Satisfaction, 2) Prevention Over Satisfaction, 3) Continuous Impoverishment, 4) Management Responsibility, 5) Cost of Quality

38
Q

What is Accuracy?

A

An assessment of correctness.

39
Q

What is Precision?

A

A measure of exactness.

40
Q

What is Special Cause (Assignable Cause)?

A

Type of variance not inherent in the system, not predictable, intermittent, and includes non-random data points?

41
Q

What is Common Cause (Random Cause)?

A

Type of variance is inherent in the system, predictable, normal, and includes random data points?

42
Q

What are the components of the Process Improvement Plan?

A

1) Process Boundaries, 2) Process Configuration, 3) Process Metrics, 4) Targets For Improved Performance
