Only one answer is correct per numbered item. 1. How do you find the process capability? a) By Process Capability Ratio = C p = UUUUUU LLLLLL 6σσ b) By USL and LSL only c) By normal distribution curve d) By spread and mean shift of the process 2. In a certain process it is given that USL is 14, LSL is zero. The process has a mean of 10 and standard deviation 2. What will be the Process Capability Ratio? a) 0.83 b) 1.17 c) 1.33 d) In a process the inverse of process capability ratio is Which statement is correct? a) The process is capable. b) The process is incapable. c) The process is capable with tight control. d) None of the above 4. A process having mean 8.80 and process standard deviation 0.12 has spread of specification limit: 9.0±0.4. What will be the process capability index? a) 0.55 b) 1.67 c) 1.33 d) How CC pppp is different than CC pp? a) CC pp Looks at the centrality of the process. b) CC pppp Looks at the overall variability of the process. c) Both look at the overall variability of the process. d) CC pppp Looks at the centrality of the process.

2 6. A QC scheme is in operation for a process producing ball-bearings. A sample of 6 bearings is taken every hour and diameters is measured. The mean diameter which the process delivers is 2 cm. A bearing meets specification within the range 1.998cm 2.002cm. If the specification limits are considered at 1σσ level, what is the Process Capability? a) 0.11 b) 0.44 c) 0.22 d) What is true about Process Capability Index (C pk ) and Process Performance Index (P pk )? I. C pk tells you about what the process is CAPABLE of doing in future, assuming it remains in a state of statistical control. P pk tells you how the process has performed in the past and verifies is the process capable to meet Customer CTQs (requirements). II. P pk only applies to a specific batch of material. III. P pk generally uses sample sigma in its calculation; C pk uses the process sigma value determined from either the Moving Range, Range or Sigma control charts IV. Both the indexes are same a) I, II, III are correct b) I and II are correct c) IV is correct d) All are correct 8. A process is having net weight specifications 9.0± 0.5 with process mean 8.80 and standard deviation 0.12.The sample standard deviation is What will be the process performance capability? a) 0.83 b) 0.90 c) 1.94 d) How Quality Function Deployment differs from conventional product development? a) It listens to the customer. b) It develops and manufacture towards measured goals. c) It optimises products and processes. d) All of the above

3 10. If a Company is late to market to deliver its product by 4 months in ship building industry a) Gross profit potential is reduced by 18%. b) Gross profit potential is reduced by 33%. c) Gross profit potential is reduced by 25%. d) Gross profit potential is reduced by 13%. 11. What does the roof of the House of Quality indicate? a) The customer requirements b) The correlationship matrix showing the conflicts between engineering characteristics. c) The relationship matrix between customer requirement and engineering characteristics d) The target value of the organisation for the product 12. What is the output from 2 nd phase of QFD? a) Design Requirements b) Process Operations c) Part/Item Characteristics d) Operations Requirements 13. How Kano Model is different than QFD? a) QFD gives information about delighted needs b) QFD distinguishes the quality of requirements c) Kano Model captures the Voice of the customer d) Kano Model captures the Mind of the customer 14. Which of the following statement is true regarding Kano Model? a) Threshold attributes are those for which more is generally better. b) Performance attributes are the expected attribute that must be there in a product. c) Excitement attributes are unspoken and unexpected by customer. d) None of the above 15. Which of the following statements is incorrect? Quality Function Deployment (QFD). a) Reduces product development cycle time b) Increases engineering changes c) Reduces start-up cost d) Helps to identify specific competitive advantages easily
