ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) — Question 5

A comprehensive corrective action program is initiated at a large company. Input for CARs are received from customers, internal and external audits, material review reports and other sources. Which two of the following groups would usually administer and control the CAR process?
I. Management review team.
II. Quality department.
III. Corrective Action Board.
IV. Material Review Board.

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the Management review team and the Corrective Action Board are typically responsible for administering the CAR process. The Quality department, while important for quality assurance, is not primarily tasked with the overall management of corrective actions, and the Material Review Board focuses on specific material issues rather than the CAR process.
