ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) — Question 54

Which of the following would be the MOST important considerations when establishing inspection points within a production operation?
I. Inspection to prevent defects from entering the system.
II. Inspection after all operations (both manual and automated).
III. Inspection prior to a painting or masking operation.

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because preventing defects before they enter the system and ensuring quality prior to painting or masking are crucial. While inspection after all operations is important, it is not as critical as the other two considerations, which focus on preventing issues earlier in the process.
