This tool is used to reduce problems arising from poor housekeeping or organization.

5S

100

This tool is used to predict what could happen if something goes wrong in a process.

FMEA

100

"The mean of the sampling distribution of means is equal to the mean of the population" describes this type of distribution.

Normal Distribution

100

The null hypothesis is rejected when it is true is an example of this type of error. 

Type 1 Error

100

This is a Japanese term that means gradual, unending improvement by doing little things better and setting and achieving increasingly higher standards. 

Kaizen

200

This is another term used for process mapping.

Process flowcharting 

200

These three scales are used to calculate the RPN.

Severity, occurrence, detection

200

You would describe the shape of the below distribution as this. 

Positive skewed

200

 H0 : μ = 0; H1 : μ ≠ 0 is an example of what type of hypothesis test. 

Two tailed test

200

This group is critical to improvements following Kaizen. 

Front line employees

300

These two types of steps make up a value analysis or process.

Value and non value added

300

These are the two types of FMEA

Design, Process

300

A binomial distribution is used to model this type of data. 

Discrete data

300
This is what is determined by hypothesis testing (what we are trying to prove).

Whether we can reject or not reject the null hypothesis. 

300

In this stage of the PDCA cycle is a plan implemented on a trial basis.

Do Stage

400

This is a good tool for prioritizing the potential root causes of a problem.

These are the two most critical aspects to FMEA success. 

FMEA involvement and leadership buy in

400

A system is considered in control when this type of variation is not present. 

Special Cause Variation 

400

For the below problem this would be the null hypothesis. 

Ho: u=85

400

This is a step-by-step description of how to complete a task. 

Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), or Standard Work

500

These pieces of information differentiate a process map from a process flow chart. 

Detailed information about the process including costs, setup time, cycle time, inventory, types of defects that can occur, probability of defects.

500

At a high level these are the primary steps in FMEA development.

Review the process

Brainstorm failure modes

Assign severity rating

List causes

Assign occurrence rating

Identify controls

Assign detection rating

Calculate RPN

A large hospital identified a decline in safety scores across three locations. After engaging in root cause analysis, the project team discovered there was only one hospital with low scores, which were impacting the other two hospitals. The project team believed there was a strong positive relationship between safety scores and the length of time spent in safety training.


Which statistic provides evidence that time spent in training is a driver of safety scores

 

P value less than .005

For the below problem what would you conclude for this test.

Reject the null hypothesis

This type of variation is displayed in the following individuals chart.
