1. A Texas Quality Assurance Manager is reviewing a manufacturing
process where a critical dimension has an Upper Specification
Limit (USL) of 10.50 mm and a Lower Specification Limit (LSL)
of 9.50 mm. The process mean is 10.00 mm, and the standard
deviation is 0.10 mm. What is the process capability index (Cp)?
A. 1.00
B. 1.33
C. 1.67
D. 2.00
Answer: C. 1.67
Rationale: Cp = (USL − LSL) ÷ (6σ). Cp = (10.50 − 9.50) ÷ (6 × 0.10)
= 1.00 ÷ 0.60 = 1.67. Cp measures potential capability assuming the
process is centered.
2. Which quality management principle emphasizes understanding
and meeting customer expectations while striving to exceed them?
A. Risk avoidance
B. Customer focus
C. Process isolation
1
,D. Cost leadership
Answer: B. Customer focus
Rationale: Customer focus is the primary principle of modern quality
management systems, including ISO 9001, ensuring organizations
consistently satisfy customer requirements.
3. Which document specifies the sequence of operations, inspections,
equipment, and acceptance criteria required to manufacture a
product?
A. Corrective Action Report
B. Quality Manual
C. Control Plan
D. Audit Checklist
Answer: C. Control Plan
Rationale: A control plan documents critical process steps, monitoring
methods, measurement techniques, reaction plans, and inspection
frequencies.
4. During a root cause investigation, a team repeatedly asks "Why?"
until the fundamental cause is identified. Which quality tool is
being applied?
A. Histogram
B. Pareto Chart
C. Five Whys
D. Scatter Diagram
2
,Answer: C. Five Whys
Rationale: The Five Whys technique systematically investigates
underlying causes rather than treating symptoms.
5. Which statistical tool helps identify the small number of causes
responsible for the majority of defects?
A. Flowchart
B. Pareto Chart
C. Run Chart
D. Affinity Diagram
Answer: B. Pareto Chart
Rationale: Pareto analysis follows the 80/20 principle, helping
organizations prioritize corrective actions on the most significant
contributors.
6. What is the primary purpose of a Corrective Action?
A. Detect future defects
B. Eliminate causes of identified nonconformities
C. Increase production volume
D. Reduce employee training
Answer: B. Eliminate causes of identified nonconformities
Rationale: Corrective action removes the root cause of existing
problems to prevent recurrence.
3
, 7. Which quality cost category includes warranty claims, recalls, and
customer complaints?
A. Prevention Costs
B. Appraisal Costs
C. Internal Failure Costs
D. External Failure Costs
Answer: D. External Failure Costs
Rationale: External failure costs occur after products reach customers
and often represent the most expensive quality failures.
8. Which statistical control chart monitors variable data using
subgroup averages?
A. p Chart
B. c Chart
C. X-bar Chart
D. np Chart
Answer: C. X-bar Chart
Rationale: X-bar charts monitor changes in subgroup averages for
measurable characteristics.
9. Which standard is the internationally recognized Quality
Management System standard?
A. ISO 14001
B. ISO 45001
C. ISO 9001
