ASQ Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) — Question 84

Which of the following is the BEST statement to make regarding the relationship between product precision and product production?

Answer options

• A. With too little precision, production costs increase.
• B. With too much precision, production costs increase.
• C. Precision costs and performance are related.
• D. With little precision, performance will improve.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because it highlights the correlation between precision costs and performance, indicating that as precision improves, performance can also be expected to improve. Options A and B mistakenly suggest that either too little or too much precision solely increases costs without addressing performance. Option D incorrectly assumes that less precision enhances performance, which is typically not the case.
