Failing Power Steering Pump: If the power steering pump begins to fail you may notice some squealing when turning the wheel. When seals and other parts of the power steering pump begin to wear down, the pump cannot maintain a consistent level of fluid pressure.
Return to CHAPTER 20. Control activities are the policies, procedures, techniques, and mechanisms that help ensure that management's response to reduce risks identified during the risk assessment process is carried out. In other words, control activities are actions taken to minimize risk.
When the process triggers any of the control chart detection rules, (or alternatively, the process capability is low), other activities may be performed to identify the source of the excessive variation.The tools used in these extra activities include: Ishikawa diagrams, designed experiments, and Pareto charts.PC can be applied to any process where the conforming product (product meeting specifications) output can be measured. Key tools used in SPC include control charts; a focus on continuous improvement; and the design of experiments. An example of a process where SPC is applied is manufacturing lines.
