Question

One of the keys to using the FMEA method is to: Select one: a. have the 5S system in place b. have the seven basic tools of quality management completed c. have a cross-functional, multidisciplinary team d. have only common-cause variations

Answer 1

c. have a cross-functional, multidisciplinary team

Step-by-step explanation:

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis is a method developed and used by companies to evaluate their products to ensure that they are up to standard before releasing them to the customers. There are seven steps to setting up an FMEA.

One of the key steps in this process is assembling the FMEA team. There should be a cross-functional, multidisciplinary team that can accurately evaluate the process. They would evaluate past mistakes and draw up a pre-work checklist that would be used for evaluation. This is better than allowing one individual perform the analysis because many things might go unnoticed.
