Which type of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is performed on manufacturing or assembly processes?
Answer: Process FMEA (PFMEA)
PFMEA evaluates how process failures could affect product quality, safety, or customer satisfaction.
In hypothesis testing, a Type II error (β) occurs when:
Answer: A false null hypothesis is not rejected
A Type II error is failing to detect a real effect — accepting H₀ when it is actually false.
The purpose of a gauge R&R study is to:
Answer: Quantify the variation contributed by the measurement system
Gauge R&R separates measurement variation into repeatability (equipment) and reproducibility (appraiser) components.
ISO 9001:2015 adopts which management framework as its organizing structure?
Answer: High Level Structure (Annex SL)
ISO 9001:2015 uses the Annex SL (now Annex L) High Level Structure, enabling alignment with other ISO management system standards.
A scatter diagram showing a strong positive correlation between two variables means:
Answer: As one variable increases, the other tends to increase
Positive correlation indicates a tendency for both variables to move in the same direction, but does not prove causation.
Which element is NOT typically part of a Quality Management System (QMS) document hierarchy?
Answer: Marketing brochures
A QMS document hierarchy consists of quality manuals, procedures, work instructions, and records — not marketing materials.
In reliability engineering, the bathtub curve describes:
Answer: Three distinct failure rate phases over a product's life
The bathtub curve shows infant mortality (decreasing failure rate), useful life (constant rate), and wear-out (increasing rate) phases.
