What is beta testing? correct answers Beta testing is the act of implementing a new idea, system,
or product with a select group of people or processes in as controlled an environment as possible.
What is the purpose of beta testing correct answers The purpose of beta testing is to reduce the
risks and costs inherent in launching an unproven product or system to a widespread audience.
What is 6 sigma? correct answers Six Sigma, or 6σ, is both a methodology for process
improvement and a statistical concept that seeks to define the variation inherent in any process.
What is the premise of 6 sigma? correct answers The overarching premise of Six Sigma is that
variation in a process leads to opportunities for error; opportunities for error then lead to risks for
product defects. Product defects—whether in a tangible process or a service—lead to poor
customer satisfaction.
What do 6 sigma reduce correct answers the Six Sigma method ultimately reduces process costs
and increases customer satisfaction.
What is the disadvantage of launching ideas into beta—or to an entire population--without going
through a Six Sigma methodology? correct answers organizations can experience unintended
consequences from changes, spend money on ideas that don't end up working out as planned, and
impact customer perceptions through trial-and-error periods rife with opportunities for error.
How does 6 sigma help with decision making? correct answers organizations can identify
problems, validate assumptions, brainstorm solutions, and plan for implementation to avoid
unintended consequences. By applying tools such as statistical analysis and process mapping to
problems and solutions, teams can visualize and predict outcomes with a high-level of accuracy,
letting leadership make decisions with less financial risk.
Technically, in a Six Sigma process correct answers there are only 3.4 defects per million
opportunities.
6 sigma in percentages correct answers means 99.99966 percent of the products from a Six
Sigma process are without defect.
At just one sigma level below—5σ, or 99.97 percent accuracy correct answers processes
experience 233 errors per million opportunities.
How to calculate sigma levels correct answers # of opportunities - # of defects) # of
opportunities.
X 100 = Yield.
6 sigma aims to reduce correct answers Time

Variability
,What are the two methodologies of 6 sigma correct answers DMAIC
DMADV
Which 6 sigma methodology is used in manufacturing or production side of a product or service,
correct answers DMAIC
What are the DMAIC stages? correct answers Define - address the identification of specific
processes to be examined
Measure - record data and use metrics to track effectiveness and evaluate efficiencies
Analyze - utilize critical thinking skills to review data and clarify goals
Improve - create changes in business processes geared toward improvement and better alignment
with corporate goals
Control - build a system of checks and adjustments for ongoing improvement in production
processes
What are the DMADV stages? correct answers Define - address customer needs in relation to a
product or service
Measure - involve the use of electronic data collection to measure customer needs, response to
product, or review of services
Analyze - utilize metrics to evaluate areas where product or service can be better aligned to
customer goals and needs
Design - overlap the improvement of business processes that streamline corporate goals to best
meet client and customer needs
Verify - build a system of tests and models to check that customer specifications are being met
through on-going improvements
Which 6 sigma methodology is most applicable to examining and improving the customer
relations side of a company, correct answers DMADV
Which 6 sigma methodology is used in the creation of a new product? correct answers DMADV
Which 6 sigma methodology is most commonly used? correct answers DMAIC
Who created 6 sigma and when correct answers Six Sigma was developed by Bill Smith in 1986.
Then an engineer at Motorola aimed to help improve the company's devices which didn't meet
the quality standards at the time. He based the approach on statistical and quality control
methods taught by Walter Shewhart, Ronald Fisher, and Edwards Deming.
What is VOC in 6 sigma? correct answers Voice of the customer
Which phase is VOC found correct answers Define phase
, Define VOC correct answers Voice of Customer is the customer's voice, expectations,
preferences, comments, of a product or service in discussion. It is the statement made by the
customer on a particular product or service.
What is Value Stream correct answers A value stream is all the steps (both value added and non-
value added) in a process that the customer is willing to pay for in order to bring a product or
service through the main flows essential to producing that product or service.
What is value stream mapping? correct answers Value stream mapping (VSM) is defined as a
lean tool that employs a flowchart documenting every step in the process. Many lean
practitioners see VSM as a fundamental tool to identify waste, reduce process cycle times, and
implement process improvement.
What does ANOVA stands for correct answers Analysis of Variance.
What does CAPA stands for correct answers Corrective Action and Preventive Action.
What does COPQ stand for? correct answers Cost of Poor Quality.
What does CTQ stand for? correct answers Critical-to-Quality.
What does DFSS stand for? correct answers Design for Six Sigma.
What is the DOWNTIME acronym? correct answers Defects,
Overproduction,
Waiting,
Non-utilized Talent, Transportation,
Inventory Excess,
Motion Waste,
Excess Processing.
What is the acronym DPMO correct answers Defects per Million Opportunities.
What is the acronym DPU? correct answers Defects per Unit.
What acronym is FMEA? correct answers Failure Modes and Effect Analysis.
