Deck 12: Management and Planning Tools

Question 1

A two factor experiment is developed with SS results for 8 values are as follows:Factor A = 40, Factor B = 120, Factor AB = 60, Total SS = 268. Determine the ANOVA and test significance against a critical value for 5% risk of 5.59.

Answer 1

F values are A = 3.34, B = 10.0, AB = 5.0. Factor B is significant.

Question 2

The technique that avoids surprises and proposes countermeasures is called:

A) process decision program chart
B) affinity diagram
C) tree diagram
D) activity network diagram

Answer 2

A

Question 3

The technique that allows individuals or teams to identify, analyze, and rate the relationship between two or more variables is called:

A) matrix diagram
B) prioritization matrices
C) forced field analysis
D) interrelationship diagram

Answer 3

A

Question 4

An improved process has been developed to increase yield. Data from the existing process is n = 8, y-bar = 7.6, and s² = 2.1 and the improved process is n = 6, y-bar = 8.0, and s² = 1.5. Is the improved process better at the 0.05 level with a critical value of 1.782.

Question 5

The technique that allows the team to classify the cause and effect factors in order for the key drivers and outcomes to help solve the problem is called:

A) process decision program chart
B) matrix diagram
C) affinity diagram
D) interrelationship diagram

Question 6

The technique that uses the positive and negative aspects of a situation to reinforce the positives and reduce or eliminate the negatives is called:

A) activity network diagram
B) process decision program chart
C) prioritization matrices
D) forced field analysis

Question 7

The technique that provides for issue/idea input from everyone on the team for effective decisions is called:

A) matrix diagram
B) nominal group technique

Question 8

Establish the sign effects for a three factor experimental design.

Question 9

Determine the confidence interval for 10 observations with an average of 9.0 and a variance of 2.0 for 95% confidence. The t value for 0.025 is 2.262.

Question 10

The technique that allows the team to schedule a project efficiently is called:

A) activity network diagram
B) process decision program chart
C) prioritization matrices
D) forced field analysis

Question 11

The technique that allows the team to generate a large number of issues/ideas and logical group them for effective problem solving is called:

A) matrix diagram
B) nominal group technique
C) why, why
D) affinity diagram
