3. If the operational availability is substantially less than the achieved availability, one would conclude that:

a. Preventive maintenance is poor

b. Corrective maintenance is good

C. Maintenance response and supply availability are acceptable

d. Maintenance response and supply availability need improvement

4)

to create a reliability model in order to optimize performance and minimize life cycle costs, the reliability engineer uses:

a. Bayesian probability concepts

b. Stoichiometric calculations

c. Theoretical models and industry data

d. Observed data and experience 5)

Process problems were discovered in a specific process step. The Quality Manager orders that an inspector be positioned at that process step to perform 100% inspection. This is an example of:

a. An improper use of a quality inspector

b. An immediate corrective action to contain the problem

c. A quality system response that should never be utilized

d. Root cause correction

7)The reliability specification that only applies to situations where individual component failure does not cause total failure is called:

a. Fail-safe conditions b. Graceful failure C. Service life d. Damage tolerance
