Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Availability Rate

Mean Time To Repair (MTTR)

Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE)

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF)

Question 2: In automotive manufacturing, how does "failure mode effects analysis" (FMEA) contribute to equipment maintenance strategies?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It identifies potential failure points in equipment and helps prioritize maintenance efforts to avoid production disruptions

It increases maintenance costs by ignoring equipment conditions

It eliminates the need for maintenance by focusing on maximizing machine output

It reduces downtime by speeding up the replacement of equipment

Question 3: How does "capacity planning" affect process optimization in automotive manufacturing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It reduces the number of machines required on the production line

It increases production quotas without considering resource limitations

It eliminates the need for process improvement by relying on existing resources

It ensures that production resources are allocated effectively to meet demand while avoiding under- or over-utilization

Question 4: What is the role of "demand forecasting" in production planning within the automotive industry?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It helps predict future customer demand and aligns production schedules and resources accordingly

It reduces the need for production schedules and equipment maintenance

It focuses on maximizing production speed without considering market conditions

It eliminates the need for inventory management by reducing the number of suppliers

Question 5: How do you apply Six Sigma methodologies to improve quality and efficiency in automotive manufacturing processes?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using Six Sigma only for quality issues without addressing efficiency

By using DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) to identify root causes of inefficiency and variability

By focusing only on production output without quality control

By reducing the number of variables without measuring their impact

Question 6: What does the acronym MTBF stand for in equipment maintenance, and what does it signify?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

Maximum Time Between Failures; it sets the upper limit for equipment operation without maintenance

Mean Time Between Failures; it measures the average time between equipment breakdowns

Mean Time Between Fixes; it indicates the average time to repair equipment

Minimum Time Between Failures; it defines the shortest allowable interval between failures
