ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) — Question 50

Which of the following quality system provisions is of the greatest concern when preparing an audit checklist for a vendor qualification system audit?

Answer options

• A. Drawing and print control.
• B. Makeup of the MRB
• C. Training level of inspectors.
• D. Calibration of test equipment.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The calibration of test equipment is crucial because it ensures that measurements and test results are accurate, directly impacting product quality. While drawing control, MRB composition, and inspector training are important, they do not have as direct an effect on the reliability of testing results as calibration does.
