MSSC QUALITY PRACTICES &
MEASUREMENT FINAL EXAM REVIEW
QUIZ QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS 100% VERIFIED.
1. What is the primary objective of Statistical Process Control (SPC)?
A. To inspect every single part produced for defects.
B. To replace the need for quality audits.
C. To increase the speed of production lines.
D. To monitor a process to identify and reduce variation.
Answer: D
Conceptual Explanation: SPC uses statistical methods to monitor and control a process to
ensure it operates at its full potential, focusing on reducing variation rather than just
filtering bad parts.
2. In the PDCA cycle, what does the ‘Act’ phase represent?
A. Implementing the plan on a small scale.
B. Standardizing the change or starting the cycle again.
C. Evaluating the results of the pilot study.
D. Defining the problem and the goals.
,Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: The ‘Act’ phase involves standardizing the successful changes or
determining what to do next if the results were not as expected.
3. Which quality tool is used to identify the ‘vital few’ problems compared to the ‘useful
many’?
A. Histogram
B. Pareto Chart
C. Scatter Diagram
D. Control Chart
Answer: B
Conceptual Explanation: A Pareto Chart is based on the 80/20 rule, helping teams focus
on the most significant factors causing problems.
4. What does a Cpk value of 1.0 indicate about a process?
A. The process is perfectly centered and highly capable.
B. The process is just barely capable of meeting specifications.
C. The process is out of control.
D. The process spread is twice as wide as the specification limits.
Answer: B
, Conceptual Explanation: A Cpk of 1.0 means the process mean is three standard
deviations away from the nearest specification limit, representing a marginal level of
capability.
5. Which instrument is most appropriate for measuring the depth of a blind hole to an
accuracy of 0.001 inches?
A. Depth Micrometer
B. Tape Measure
C. Steel Rule
D. Dial Caliper
Answer: A
Conceptual Explanation: While a caliper can measure depth, a depth micrometer provides
higher precision and stability for measurements at the 0.001 inch level.
6. What is the first step in performing a Root Cause Analysis?
A. Defining the problem clearly.
B. Implementing corrective actions.
C. Brainstorming solutions.
D. Updating the SOP.
Answer: A
