Use of source inspection on 100% of the items produced

Extensive use of control charts

Use of a sophisticated method of acceptance sampling

4. Statistical Process Control (SPC) and data from the actual process to statistically monitor the process over time are employed during which step of the DMAIC cycle?

Define

Control

Improve

Measure

5. According to the theory of constraints, which of the following is an OPERATIONAL measurement that can be used to measure the firm's ability to make money?

Operating revenue

Unit cost

Inventory

Net Profit

6. The DMAIC cycle of Six Sigma is similar to which of the following quality management topics?

13. Which of the following is a focusing step of Dr. Eli Goldratt's theory of constraints?

Do not modify a process after improvement of a constraint is achieved.

Isolate constraints to reduce the constraint’s capacity.

Align the whole system to support processes prior to the constraint.

14. According to Goldratt, which of the following is defined as “any resource whose capacity is less than the demand placed on it”?

Bottleneck resource

Buffer resource

Non bottleneck resource

Capacity constrained resource

15. According to the theory of constraints, which of the following would be included in the Throughput operational measurement?
