Explanation / Answer

Answer to question 1:

The correct option is 'B'. The main objective of process sigma is to reduce defects in a process. This defect may lead to failure in meeting customer standards. Hence, it provides a means of assessing how well to meet customer requirements and evaluate improvement efforts. In this process, various processes in manufacturing are compared and all those which are not useful or don't add any value to final products or cause to create defects in final products, are removed from the overall process, thereby meeting the customer requirements of quality standards. Customer satisfaction is the key for process sigma and it thrives for improvement in the existing manufacutring process to meet the customer standards.
