Call a meeting of your project team to see who is responsible for the problem b. Reassign the team member who had responsibility for oversight of the problem c. Perform product rework immediately d. Issue a change request to implement accepted audit recommendations d. Issue a change request to implement accepted audit recommendationsThe information obtained from a quality audit can be used to improve quality systems and performance. The subsequent effort to correct any deficiencies should result in a reduced cost of quality and an increase in sponsor or customer satisfaction. In most cases, quality audits also can confirm implementing approved change requests such as updates, corrective or preventive actions, and defect repairs. Change requests to implement recommendations from the quality audits are an output of the Manage Quality process 17 / 40 INSTRUCTIONS: Note the most suitable answer for each multiple-choice question.17. One way to monitor cost and schedule variances, volume, frequency of scope changes, and other results to determine if the project management processes are in control is to use control charts.

Since it is repetitive, the control limits are a. Seven consecutive plot points above the mean b. Ways to identify which factors have the greatest influence c. +/− 3 s around a process mean set at 0 s d. Seven consecutive plot points below the mean 17. c. +/− 3 s around a process mean set at 0 sControl charts are a data representation tool and technique used in Control Quality The key words in this question are "repetitive process", which means the control limits are set at +/− 3 s around a process mean set at 0 s. The control charts are used to determine whether or not a process is stable or has predictable performance. Upper and lower limits are set based on requirements, and they reflect the maximum or minimum values allowed. These control limits are not specification limits. They are determined statistically. and the project manager and others can use the statistically calculated control limits to identify the points where corrective action is required 18 / 40 INSTRUCTIONS: Note the most suitable answer for each multiple-choice question.18.

Using cost/benefit analysisCost/benefit analysis is a data analysis tool and technique in Plan Quality Management. It is financial analysis tool, but here In Plan Quality Management, its purpose is to estimate strength and weaknesses of various alternatives in terms of benefits provided. This analysis helps the project manager evaluate if the planned quality activities will be effective. The benefits if quality requirements are met include less rework, lower costs, higher productivity, increased customer satisfaction and increased profits. This analysis for each quality activity compares the cost of quality to the expected benefits 20 / 40 INSTRUCTIONS: Note the most suitable answer for each multiple-choice question.20.
