Multiple choice six-sigma green-belt

In an FMEA, detection rating is high if

  1. The control certainly detects potential failure cause

  2. There are high chances that the control will detect the potential failure cause

  3. There is moderate chance of control detecting the potential failure cause

  4. There is no control or the control can not detect the potential failure cause

D Correct answer
Explanation

In FMEA, Detection rating measures how likely controls are to detect a failure. A HIGH detection rating means POOR detection - the control is unlikely to catch the failure. This is counterintuitive: high rating = high risk. Options A and B describe good detection (low rating). Option C is moderate. Option D correctly states that high detection means no or ineffective controls.
