QID [d]. A Six Sigma project team is using a failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to analyze issues that could arise with proposed process improvements. The following ratings were developed for the failure mode that workers did not follow instructions. Detection = [n] Occurrence = [r] Repeatability = [p] Severity = [v] What is the risk priority number (RPN) for this failure mode?
Read DetailsThe waste related to diagnostic tests is an opportunity for hospitals to decrease costs. The manager of a trauma unit at one hospital just launched a Six Sigma project aimed at reducing redundant diagnostic tests, with an expected cost reduction of 10%. Which tool should the team use to visualize how the process is connected to patients and physicians? [which]

In order to provide additional capacity for a top-selling product, a project team is installing a new CNC machine. Before establishing the process performance baseline, the team conducts a gauge R&R study with three operators. Each operator measures the same ten parts, three times each. The target for the dimension is 500, with USL = 560 and LSL = 440. The ANOVA gave the following estimates: σRPT = 2 σRPD = 6 σPART = 7.75 σTOTAL = 10 Estimate σMS. Estimate % R&R. Based on % R&R, is this measurement system acceptable for use? Explain your decision.
