    • D.

      A tool to measure the future effects of change

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. A method focusing on preventing or mitigating problems
    B. An analysis to understand failure modes & effects
    C. A tool enabling to track the actions taken to address problems
    Explanation
    FMEA stands for Failure Mode and Effects Analysis. It is a method that focuses on preventing or mitigating problems by analyzing failure modes and their effects. It is also a tool that enables tracking the actions taken to address problems. FMEA helps in identifying potential failures in a process or system and prioritizing them based on their severity, occurrence, and detectability. By understanding failure modes and their effects, organizations can take proactive measures to prevent or minimize the impact of failures. Additionally, FMEA provides a systematic approach to measure the future effects of change, ensuring that any modifications or improvements are thoroughly evaluated for potential risks.

    Correct Answer
    control
    control chart
    run chart
    statistical process control
    SPC
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "control chart". A control chart is a graphical representation of data that shows the upper and lower control limits, which indicate the expected variation in the data. It is used in statistical process control (SPC) to monitor and analyze processes over time. A run chart is a different type of chart that displays data points in chronological order, while "control" and "SPC" are just partial terms that do not fully describe the chart.
