What are some of the benefits that can be derived from its application?In a nutshell Quality Function Deployment is the meeting ground between the developers, and the customer. This method ensures that what is most important to the customer is labeled and gives the developers the understanding of what is most important and things to keep in mind that the customer desires when establishing the system. This leads into the House of Quality that I remember from my Six Sigma days. This house is a diagram that relates what is most important to the customer and gives it a value, also on the technical side of the house it also assigns a value, this forms a grid the items then translate from how’s to what’s with the customers needs always prevalent. Question 24 of 401.25 PointsWhat is the purpose of feasibility analysis?Feasibility Analysis is the process of evaluating a process or system at the planning phase. It is an evolution to see if change or development is cost effective, less labor intensive, fixing a problem or just too many variables and it is not worth it. Basically is it even feasible to go down this path or will it be trouble in the long run. Many different factors should be evaluated during this analysis and the overall output should either be met or scraped and try a different approach. Reliability and maintainability of a process, labor cost, and all other follow on activities after the fact should be evaluated during this time. Question 25 of 401.25 PointsLogistics delay time is maintenance down times that is expected as a result of waiting for a spare part.A. TrueB. FalseAnswer Key: TrueQuestion 26 of 401.25 PointsSystem Effectiveness relates to the ability of a system to perform its intended functions and also measures cost effectiveness.A. TrueB. FalseAnswer Key: TrueQuestion 27 of 401.25 PointsThe Life-Cycle cost focuses on economic issues to include Design and development cost, production and construction cost and operation maintenance cost.A. TrueB. FalseAnswer Key: TrueQuestion 28 of 401.25 PointsCost Effectiveness can be expressed in terms of measures of system effectiveness and LCC, the relationship between the two- cost effective figure-of-merit (FOM).A. TrueB. FalseAnswer Key: TrueQuestion 29 of 401.25 PointsFailure rates may be expressed in terms of failures per hour or percent failures.A. TrueB. FalseAnswer Key: TrueQuestion 30 of 401.25 PointsThe Series Network is a reliability model that is common and is one in which the same components are in parallel and in which all components must fail in order to cause a total System failure.A. TrueB. FalseAnswer Key: FalseQuestion 31 of 401.25 PointsThe Combined series-parallel network is levels of reliability that can be achieved through the application of a combination of series and parallel network.A. TrueB. FalseAnswer Key: TrueQuestion 32 of 401.25 PointsThe standard deviation measures the dispersion of maintenance time values.A. TrueB.
