ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) — Question 46

A purchase order for subassemblies classified as critical must include a review by
I. Quality engineering.
II. The procurement department.
III. Design engineering.

Answer options

• A. III only
• B. I and III only
• C. II and III only
• D. I, II and III

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because all three departments—Quality engineering, the procurement department, and Design engineering—play essential roles in ensuring that critical subassemblies meet quality and design standards. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they exclude one or more necessary reviews that are vital for the purchase order process.
