B. Decision-making procedures
C. Clarity of goals
D. Mutual trust, respect, and support on the team
E. Management support

The Six Sigma team at a custom cabinetry manufacturer has just undertaken a new project. The team has identified an opportunity for improvement in its custom staircase design process. The team has developed a new process, but wants to use a pilot test before full-scale implementation.
Currently, the finishers spend a lot of time reaching, bending, and replenishing materials. A new process has been designed to reduce waste, making the whole process more efficient. The work space of the finishers has been redesigned to ensure tools and materials are within reach. A toolbox was added in the arm of the finishers' chairs. A kanban system has been implemented to alert floor supervisors when materials are low so that they can be restocked before the finishers need them. Workers with varying degrees of expertise and experience have been selected to participate in the pilot.
Members of the Six Sigma team are on site to watch, listen, and record details of what happens during the pilot testing. Carlos, one of the participants, can't find his screw drivers. Tracy, a Six Sigma team member, tells him to look in the tool holder, located in the armrest of his chair. Tracy records the incident and sticks around in case Carlos has any other trouble. Seeing that another participant needs help, Tracy moves on to find out what the problem is. This time, the participant just wants to tell Tracy what a good job she thinks the team has done designing the new process. However, she also has a recommendation about the toolbox located in the arm of the chair. Tracy takes detailed notes of participants' feedback, but she refrains from adding commentary of her own on the design of the new process.
What should Tracy have done to improve the way in which the pilot test was conducted?
A. Tracy should have shared her thoughts on the new process and the toolbox
B. Tracy should have allowed Carlos to find the tool on his own, and taken notes of what he did and said
C. Tracy should have taken notes

The Six Sigma team at an electronics manufacturer has initiated a project to improve the assembly line process. Hazel, the Black Belt on the project, has identified an opportunity for improvement in how the company prepares orders for shipping.
Hazel's company sells radio transmitters to customers who build their own radios. Presently, the parts are picked and packed and then sent for inspection. The parts have to be unpacked in order to be inspected and then packed again. The Six Sigma team has identified this process as being wasteful and has developed a new process that it believes will reduce waste.
A pilot test has been designed to test the new process before it's implemented throughout the organization. A group of assembly line workers has been trained in the new process and will be testing it. The new process will combine the picking, packing, and inspecting of the parts required to build the radio transmitter into one step.
Hazel addresses the participants, advising them to go about their work as if the Six Sigma team wasn't there. One of the participants is quite frustrated and comments on how the procedure set out for inspecting the components is not synchronized with how the components need to be packed into the box. Hazel is interested to find out how this experienced worker would approach the task and encourages her to complete the tasks of packing and inspecting as it makes the most sense to her. Hazel watches carefully.
What should Hazel have done to improve the way in which the pilot test was conducted?
A. Hazel should have remained objective
B. Hazel should have explained how the proposed process was better
C. Hazel should have taken notes
D. Hazel should have asked the participant to stick to the process outlined in the test instructions

B. A positive bias of 0.005 cm indicates that the device used to measure the part is overestimating measurements, and this bias is 1% of the tolerance
C. A positive bias of 0.05 cm indicates that the device is overestimating the true value of the part and bias expressed as a percentage of tolerance is 10%
D. A negative bias of 0.05 cm indicates that the device is underestimating the true value of the part and this bias is 10% of the tolerance

Management at an electronics company that specializes in portable music devices has just finished its forecasting activities. A group of employees with diverse experience and expertise has been assembled to perform scenario planning. Building on what was learned from forecasting, the team is able to establish a present starting point for the scenarios that will be developed to explain possible future outcomes.
The group is able to predict that demand will continue to grow. Next, the group considers uncertain but plausible external environmental variables, such as the company's technology becoming so regulated that the full scope application of the technology becomes restricted for the company. All the variables, predicted and possible, are grouped according to similarity.
Based on best practice, what activities should the team do to complete the scenario planning task?
A. Narrow the variables to the two most critical – that demand will continue to grow while full scope application becomes a risk
B. Collect statistical data on ownership and demand in order to compare the variables and establish priority
C. Develop scenarios to explain how the future might unfold for various combinations of the variables
D. Create a matrix to analyze the relationship between demand and the full scope application of the technology
E. Conduct a workshop with production managers to determine if they can still use the technology in its full scope

An electronics manufacturer produces several electronic components that are all quite similar but are produced on different production lines. Each production line has an assigned operator. These operators take measurements, using a common device, each morning as they start their shift and each afternoon as their shifts are ending. Typically, this data is used to identify process variation. But the company also uses it to check measurement correlation. Last month's data indicates a percent agreement of 88% for measurements taken in the morning shift.
What does this data say about correlation in the measurement system?
A. A percent agreement value of 88% indicates a high correlation, meaning that operators are using consistent measurement methods at the beginning and end of all shifts
B. A percent agreement value of 88% indicates that the measurement correlation is high, and components are consistently the correct size
C. A percent agreement value of 88% indicates that the measurement of all the data gatherers are highly correlated, when measuring similar artifacts using the same devices
D. A percent agreement value of 88% indicates a moderate correlation between the measurements of all operators, when measuring similar artifacts using the same device
