The support for an important quality initiative was lacking in congress until Reagan’s Secretary of Commerce was killed in a horseback riding accident in 1987. That initiative was:
A team wants a technique for determining and displaying priorities based on frequency of various defect types. They should use:
After a team has engaged in diversion activities they may need to employ a tool for conversion. Examples of such a tool are:
I. nominal group technique
II. Multivoting
III. cause and effect diagram
IV. activity network diagram
V. matrix diagrams
A team is investigating ways to reduce power outages. They determine that an outage can occur in only three ways: grid failure, local transformer failure or local overload. They then investigate each of these three events for possible causes, etc. They draw a diagram that “fans out” using the power outage as the handle of the fan.
These improvements are best described by which approach to problem solving?
When comparing two vendors’ machines it is found that a sample of 1000 parts from machine A has 23 defectives and a sample of 1300 parts from machine B has 36 defectives. Do the data indicate that machine B has a higher rate of defectives?
