LSSMBB Practice Test practice questions, page 7 of 16, with answer review and explanations.

Question 31

The definition of Severity is best described by the following statement:

  1. It is the likelihood for a failure mode to occur
  2. It is an assessment of how serious the effect will be to the customer if the failure mode occurs
  3. It is an assessment of the process' ability to contain a problem and keep it from reaching the customer
  4. It is an assessment only of the impact on the process or business

Question 32

Which of the following statements best summarizes the purpose for conducting an FMEA?

  1. To develop cause-effect diagrams for process or product design.
  2. To capture field failure data and track appropriate corrective actions to failure modes
  3. To prioritize failures modes by severity, occurrence, and detection
  4. To proactively anticipate failure modes and their risks for subsequent action

Question 33

Potential Ca uses are listed on FMEA forms because:

  1. Individual failure modes may have multiple causes
  2. Different causes may have different monitors or controls to detect those occurrences
  3. Individual causes may cause multiple modalities of failure
  4. All of the Above

Question 34

After developing a Process map (listing steps and functions), the first step in developing an FMEA is:

  1. Brainstorming possible failure modes with team members
  2. Assigning scores for SEVERITY, OCCURRENCE and DETECTION
  3. Calculating RPN - Risk Priority Number
  4. Prioritizing failure modes for action or resolution

Question 35

The BEST source of data for assigning an Occurrence Rating in an FMEA is:

  1. Estimates from Industry Experts
  2. Simulated failure rates from reliability models
  3. Best guesses by those preparing FMEA
  4. Historical failure data
