ISO 9001 is an international standard for:
Answer: Quality management systems
ISO 9001 specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS) focused on customer satisfaction and continuous improvement.
What does FMEA stand for?
Answer: Failure Mode and Effects Analysis
FMEA is a systematic method for identifying potential failure modes, their effects, and risk priority numbers (RPN).
The Risk Priority Number (RPN) in FMEA is calculated as:
Answer: Severity × Occurrence × Detection
RPN = Severity × Occurrence × Detection, with higher values indicating higher priority failures requiring action.
What is the purpose of Acceptance Sampling in quality control?
Answer: To decide whether to accept or reject a lot based on a sample
Acceptance sampling uses statistical sampling to decide whether a batch meets quality standards without 100% inspection.
A fishbone (Ishikawa) diagram is used to:
Answer: Visualize potential causes of a quality problem
The Ishikawa or cause-and-effect diagram organizes potential causes of a problem into categories like Man, Machine, Method, Material.
What is the purpose of Gauge R&R studies?
Answer: Assess measurement system variation due to repeatability and reproducibility
Gauge R&R evaluates how much of total variation comes from the measurement system versus the actual parts.
