ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) — Question 61

When requesting "worst case" design analysis, you expect the reliability group to

Answer options

• A. Analyze the worst rejects.
• B. Analyze only those products failing to meet specification requirements.
• C. Determine whether product requirements can be met with subassemblies assumed at their worst combination of tolerances.
• D. Assume all subassembly tolerances at their maximum limit.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it focuses on determining if product requirements can be achieved given the worst-case tolerances of subassemblies. Options A and B are incorrect as they do not address the analysis of tolerances in relation to product requirements, while option D assumes a scenario that may not be explicitly relevant to analyzing worst-case design.
