FMEA

What are the three categories of scoring in a Process FMEA?

• Cause, correlation, and control

• Common cause, special cause, and root cause

• Severity, probability of occurrence, and detection

• Don’t know

In a Process FMEA, how is the process map used to help identify failures?

• The process map identifies all the steps of the process being analyzed, which is a list of the functions of the process - failures occur when a function is not completed successfully

• The process map shows the rework and repair steps in the process, which are the failures that are recorded in the Process FMEA

• The process map shows the cause and effect relationships that cause the failure

• None of the above

What is the appropriate action when the RPN for a failure on a Process FMEA exceeds the threshold?

• Mitigate the failure by changing the product requirements

• Mitigate the failure by redesigning the product or process

• Mitigate the failure by changing the development process to add more verification testing

• None of the above

The probability of a failure mode occurring due to its related cause is ________

• Severity

• Occurrence

• Detection

• Probability

Lab tests, field tests and other inspections are _________

• Design controls

• Error proofing methods

• Process controls

• Routine QA inspections

RPN is _________

• Sum of severity, occurrence and detection

• Maximum of severity, occurrence and detection

• Minimum of severity, occurrence and detection

• Product of severity, occurrence and detection

Types of FMEA ________ and _________

• AFMEA, BFMEA

• CFMEA, DFMEA

• DFMEA, PFMEA

• PFMEA, QFMEA

FMEA is a ____________

• Problem solving tool

• Reliability improvement tool

• Fault finding tool

• None of the above

In an FMEA example, following things have been recorded; Severity rating (S) = 7, occurrence rating (O) = 2 and detection capability (D) = 6. Identify the risk priority number (RPN).

• 12

• 21

• 42

• 84

Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is a structured group of activities 1) To Identify potential failure modes 2) To access the failure to determine and prioritize actions that would that would eliminate the chance of occurrence

• Only 1

• Only 2

• Both 1 and 2

• Information insufficient
