OpM (TQM) FExam

In Failure Prevention and Recovery, what is the report's main objective?

• Define the term success

• Identify key types of success

• Identify key types of failure

• Describe techniques for success measurement

What is the 'bath tub curve' used to measure?

• Availability of operations

• Failure over time

• Failure detection and analysis

• Reliability of components

What is the formula for calculating availability?

• MTBF / (MTBF + MTTR)

• MTBF - MTTR

• MTBF x MTTR

• MTBF + MTTR

What is the main focus of failure prevention and recovery?

• Learning from failure and making changes

• Preventing all types of failure

• Measuring the impact of failure

• Recovering from critical failures

What is the primary reason for all failures?

• Material or information failure

• System failure

• Random chance

• Human failure

What is the main purpose of failure detection and analysis?

• To conduct complaint analysis

• To investigate accidents

• To analyze product liability

• To identify and analyze the causes of failure

"What is the primary purpose of measuring the failure rate?"

• To determine the degree to which the operation is ready to work

• To calculate the reliability of the whole system

• To measure the probability of a system performing as expected over time

• To relate parts of the system to the system

What is the main purpose of reliability in the context of failure prevention?

• To relate parts of the system to the system

• To measure the probability of a system performing as expected over time

• To determine the degree to which the operation is ready to work

• To calculate the availability of operations

What is the main purpose of the 'bath tub curve'?

• To measure the probability of a system performing as expected over time

• To determine the degree to which the operation is ready to work

• To calculate the reliability of the whole system

• To show the failure pattern of most physical entities over time

What is the main purpose of failure analysis?

• To identify and analyze the causes of failure

• To investigate accidents

• To analyze product liability

• To conduct complaint analysis
