Six Sigma Sample Questions

A designed experiment involves systematically varying input factors to determine their effects on outputs. A Gage R&R analysis measures measurement system error through repeatability and reproducibility testing. Eli Goldratt's Theory of Constraints recommends identifying the bottleneck process, maximizing its output, and then elevating or eliminating the constraint.

Green Belt Questions 1. What is a designed experiment? Answer in 25 words or less 2.

Which of the following is not a benefit of a designed experiment? (a) Identifies main and interaction effects (b) Analyses different combinations of inputs (c) Relatively low cost to implement (d) Can be easily used to make improvements to random processes 3. Which of these defects per million opportunity (DPMO) levels approximates to four Sigma quality? (a) 308,357 (b) 66,807 (c) 6,210 (d) 233 (e) 3.4 4. What is the difference between common cause and special cause variation? 5. What is a Gage R& R analysis? 6. In an effective measurement system, is repeatability or reproducibility likel y to be a more significant source of variation? 7. Calculate the temperature main effect in this 2k factorial experiment. Temp........Mat.......Yield - 1 ............-1..........62 1............-1...........74 -1..............1...........56 1.............. 1.......... 70 8. According to Eli Goldratt s Theory of Constraints, which is the optimal strategy? (a) Identify the constraint, decide how to exploit it, subordinate production up to the level of the bottleneck, then seek to elevate the constraint. (b) Stockpile inventory ahead of the bottleneck for maximum control of throughpu t. (c) Constraints should never be elevated. (d) Work simultaneously on eliminating all constraints. 9. Which of these is the best definition of takt time? (a) Pace of a manufacturing system as determined by customer demand (b) Average time taken to complete a task under normal operating conditions (c) The maximum operating speed of a process or production line (d) The long-run historic performance capacity of a system. 10. Which of these can form part of the visual factory ? (a) Yamazumi Boards (b) Process Maps (c) Kanban Signals (d) All of the above Green Belt Answers 1. A designed experiment involves varying input factors (Xs) to find out which v ariables, or combination of variables, deliver optimised output (Y). 2. Answer (d). It is hard to make improvements to a random process where the Gre en Belt has no ability to influence factor input levels. 3. 6,210 defects per million opportunities represent four sigma quality. Six Sig ma quality levels approximate to 3.4 defects for every million repetitions of a process world class quality. 4. All processes exhibit variation due to machines, materials, methods, measurem ent systems, people and nature. Common cause variation is long-term, random and

predictable within the normal distribution of the process. Special cause variati on is unusual, unpredictable and typically arises from excessive influence of on e source of variation. 5. A Gage R&R analysis is a process to determine measurement system error. This has two components repeatability (inherent variability of the measurement system m easured by the same operator under identical conditions) and reproducibility (va riability between operators when measuring the same item). 6. Typically human error is greater than machine error, so reproducibility is th e larger component of measurement system variation. 7. Temp Effect = Average of 1 Yields less Average of -1 Yields Temp Effect = (74+70)/2 less (62+56)/2 = 72 59 = 13 8. Goldratt suggested a five step process which involved identifying the constra int, working out how to get maximum output from the constrained process, subordi nating the production level up to the bottleneck (to avoid a surplus of inventor y building up) and then finally working to elevate (or eliminate) the constraint . 9. (a) is the best answer. Takt time sets the pace for manufacturing lines. In a utomobile manufacturing, for example, cars are assembled on a line, and are move d on to the next station after a certain time - the takt time. Takt time aims to match the pace of production with customer's demand. 10. All of the above - since these are all visual techniques
