1.
What is an FMEA
a)
A structured, statistical approach to study how multiple input variables affect output variables.
b)
A written plan describing the method of validation, including production equipment, how validation will be conducted, and pre-determined acceptance criteria.
c)
A single-fault failure analysis technique to systemically identify potential failure modes, their cuases, and effect on system performance
d)
A comprehensive analysis of a project or business idea to determine if it is practical, viable, and likely to succeed.
2.
What is the purpose of a Design FMEA?
a)
To identify possible errors in the interaction between the product and the product's users.
b)
To identify failures in the manufacturing process.
c)
To comply with regulations
d)
To identify design flaws.
3.
What is the purpose of a Use FMEA?
a)
To identify possible errors in the interaction between the product and the product's users.
b)
To identify design flaws.
c)
To identify failures in the manufacturing process.
d)
To comply with regulations
4.
What is the purpose of a Process FMEA?
a)
To identify design flaws.
b)
To identify failures in the manufacturing process.
c)
To identify possible errors in the interaction between the product and the product's users.
d)
To comply with regulations
5.
FMEAs are:
a)
Point-in-time documents
b)
Living documents
6.
What are the two sections of an FMEA:
a)
Design and Use
b)
Planning and Cleanup
c)
Top and Bottom
d)
Initial Risk Assessment and Residual Risk Assessment
7.
When should we start FMEAs
a)
As soon as we have enough information
b)
At the very end of the design process, after validation
8.
Who should participate in the FMEA analysis
a)
The lead project engineer should complete the FMEA by themselves.
b)
All the engineers on your team
c)
As many functions as are needed for the scope and type of FMEA
d)
The FMEA facilitator by themselves.
9.
What is the "Item" in a dFMEA?
a)
The discrete item that is individually analyzed in that record and is a noun. For dFMEAs, this is the part, component, subassembly, or subsystem.
b)
What the item is intended to do in a successful state. It is the primary purpose or design intent, usually written to a given standard of performance or requirement and includes a verb.
c)
The way the item fails to perform its intended function. It is typically the opposite/negative of the Function.
d)
The user task that is individually analyzed in that record
10.
What is the "Function" in a dFMEA?
a)
The action that the user is intended to do, usually to a given standard of performance or requirement.
b)
Specific reason for the failure, preferably found by asking “why” until the root cause is determined.
c)
What the item is intended to do in a successful state. It is the primary purpose or design intent, usually written to a given standard of performance or requirement and includes a verb.
d)
The way the item fails to perform its intended function. It is typically the opposite/negative of the Function.
11.
What is the "Task" in a uFMEA?
a)
What the item is intended to do in a successful state. It is the primary purpose or design intent, usually written to a given standard of performance or requirement and includes a verb.
b)
The user task that is individually analyzed in that record
c)
The way the item fails to perform its intended function. It is typically the opposite/negative of the Function.
d)
The action that the user is intended to do, usually to a given standard of performance or requirement.
12.
What is the "User Action" in a uFMEA?
a)
The action that the user is intended to do, usually to a given standard of performance or requirement.
b)
The user task that is individually analyzed in that record
c)
Specific reason for the failure, preferably found by asking “why” until the root cause is determined.
d)
The way the item fails to perform its intended function. It is typically the opposite/negative of the Function.
13.
True or False: there can only be one function of an item
a)
True
b)
False
14.
What is the "Failure Mode" in an FMEA?
a)
What the item is intended to do in a successful state. It is the primary purpose or design intent, usually written to a given standard of performance or requirement and includes a verb.
b)
The action that the user is intended to do, usually to a given standard of performance or requirement.
c)
Specific reason for the failure, preferably found by asking “why” until the root cause is determined.
d)
The way the item fails to perform its intended function. It is typically the opposite/negative of the Function.
15.
What is the "Potential Cause" of an FMEA?
a)
Specific reason for the failure, preferably found by asking “why” until the root cause is determined.
b)
The user task that is individually analyzed in that record
c)
What the item is intended to do in a successful state. It is the primary purpose or design intent, usually written to a given standard of performance or requirement and includes a verb.
d)
The action that the user is intended to do, usually to a given standard of performance or requirement.
16.
True or False: a Failure Mode may have more that one cause?
a)
True
b)
False
100 %
