Test 3 Flashcards
An experiment with two factors, in which all levels of one variable are run at each level of the second variable, is called a:
Factorial experiment
If the trials of an experiment cannot be run in random order, what is the best alternative?
Use blocking variable
What is the primary advantage of fractional factorial design
It requires less trials than a full factorial
A good reason to begin an experiment with screening design experiments include:
All of above
The power of an experiment refers to:
The ability to detect that an effect is significant
The responsibility for optimizing a system rest with
Management
A proper value stream analysis includes:
All the steps necessary to solve a customer’s problems
All the steps necessary to transform the raw material to finished goods
An assembling process is receiving the incorrect pieces for assembly. To ensure that only the correct pieces are sent, the parts tub is redesigned so that only the correct pieces can fit into the tub. This is an application of:
Poka-yoke
The advantage of a written procedure is:
It is a perpetual coordination device
Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a method to
Stabilize a process by detecting process shifts
What is the correct meaning of Takt Time?
The demand or pace that places orders
Place the 5’a in the proper order:
Sort Set-in-order Standardize Shine Sustain
The concept of holistic, when associated with the description of lean manufacturing, is meant to imply the interconnectivity and dependence among a set of five key elements:
Manufacturing Flow Organization Process Control Metrics Logistics
Kanban is based on a model of:
Supermarkets
Which of the following is not one of the eight wastes?
Excess machine capacity
A 3^2 experiment means that we are considering
Three levels of two factors
Reliability
The probability that a product, piece of equipment, or system will perform its intended function for a stated period of time under specified operating conditions.
Four factors associated with Reliability
Numerical Value
Intended Function
Life
Environmental Conditions
Achieving Reliability
Emphasis System Reliability Design Production Transportation Maintenance
Robust Design
A process that is resistant to operator errors and inconsistencies.
Failure Modes And Effects Analysis
A tool to identify and evaluate possible product or process failures and the risks associated with them.
Deliverables of the Analyze Phase
Verified Root Cause
Estimate of Financial Benefit
Improve Deliverables

Describe the goals of lean manufacturing.
Mindset to eliminate waste. Seeking to improve value-added process flow.
How does Six Sigma work together with lean manufacturing concepts?
6sig-Concentrates on reducing the variation present within a process. Lean-Improves performance by reducing all forms of waste. Both strive to improve the value-added process flow.
Describe the Kaizen concept.
An ongoing process that ensures quality. This methodology combines steps, simplifies processes, and eliminates waste. Standardize processes while eliminating waste.
What is value stream process mapping?
Done with pencil, paper & stopwatch. Done to understand the flow of information and material. Once drawn remove waste.
Kanban Cards
A label or card that communicates what is needed. A label for the items, an order for new items, and a record of the items used.
