Which of the following is the application of statistical methods to the monitoring and control of a
process to ensure that it operates at its full potential to produce conforming product?
The Statistical process control (SPC) is the application of statistical methods to the monitoring and
control of a process to ensure that it
operates at its full potential to produce conforming product. Under SPC, a process behaves
predictably to produce as much conforming product
as possible with the least possible waste.
While SPC has been applied most frequently to controlling manufacturing lines, it applies equally
well to any process with a measurable
output. Key tools in SPC are control charts, a focus on continuous improvement and designed
experiments. With its emphasis on early
detection and prevention of problems, SPC has a distinct advantage over other quality methods,
such as inspection, that apply resources to
detecting and correcting problems after they have occurred.
Answer option A is incorrect. Information Assurance (IA) describes the measures that protect and
support information and information
systems by ensuring their availability, integrity, authentication, confidentiality, and non-repudiation.
These measures include providing for
restoration of information systems by incorporating protection, detection, and reaction capabilities.
Answer option D is incorrect. The IMM is the source document describing the customer's needs
based on identifying users, processes, and
information.
Answer option C is incorrect. The Information Protection Policy (IPP) is defined as a source
document, which is most useful for the ISSE when
classifying the needed security functionality. The IPP document consists of the threats to the
information management and the security
services and controls needed to respond to those threats.
