Explanation / Answer

20.

TRUE - Deming wheel is the PDCA cycle.

21.

FALSE - Top management is responsible not the middle management.

22.

TRUE - Appraisal cost is inspection costs which will be incurred while testing, measuring and analysis.

23.

FALSE - Tolerance is related to design specification and has nothing to do with the variation in the process.

24.

TRUE - otherwise the process will become incapable of producing within the specification.

25.

FALSE - Z=6 will make the control limits wider which will show all points are within control. Z should be kept lower while constructing a control limit in order to keep the process stringent.

26.

FALSE - Only quantitative.

27.

FALSE - TQM and QMS are two different things altogether.
