Exam 7: Design for Quality and Product Excellence

Which of the following activities included in the DMADV process is focused on concept development from engineering and aesthetic perspectives and often includes the creation of drawings,virtual models,or simulations to develop and understand the functional characteristic of the product?

Which of the following customer requirements was given high importance in the House of Quality which was created by the result of the managed care organizations' QFD study?

After basic technical requirements have been established in product development process,designers must set specific dimensional or operational targets and tolerances for critical manufacturing or service characteristics.

The principles of axiomatic design help designers better apply tools such as TRIZ and quality function deployment.

Which of the following symbols is used to denote a weak relationship between any pair of technical requirements in a typical House of Quality?

Innovation is built upon strong research and development (R&D) processes.

The predicted reliability determined by the design of the product or process is called the _____ reliability.

One of the most significant barriers to efficient product development is the adaption of concurrent engineering within an organization.

The idea generation phase of product development usually includes prototype testing,in which a model is constructed to test the product's physical properties or use under actual operating conditions.

Describe Fault Tree Analysis.

Accelerated life testing involves:

New ideas are studied for feasibility in the _____ phase of product development.

The managed care organizations (MCOs) used the QFD process to redesign their handbook.Describe the two stages in which the focus group process was administered to obtain inputs for this QFD process.

When decisions about the safety,life,serviceability,and maintainability of products are dominated by customer requirements rather than by engineering considerations,poor designs that fail in the market are often the result.

Narrow tolerances in product design tend to reduce manufacturing costs and decrease the interchangeability of parts within the plant and in the field,product performance,durability,and appearance.

The managed care organizations (MCOs) used the QFD process to redesign their handbook.List the technical requirements identified through this QFD process that describe how the organization will respond to the customer requirements.

Describe concurrent engineering.

Which of the following is a creativity tool that finds extensive use in product design?

Which of the following products marked Shure's entry into the manufacturing in 1932?

Redundant components,when used in a parallel system,tend to decrease the reliability of the system.
