Introduction
This examination assesses the knowledge and competencies required of a Boeing
Quality Assurance professional. It evaluates understanding of quality management
systems, regulatory compliance, inspection techniques, statistical analysis, supplier
oversight, and ethical decision-making. Questions include both foundational theory
and scenario-based applications that reflect real-world aerospace manufacturing and
quality challenges. The exam emphasizes critical thinking, regulatory adherence, and
practical problem-solving. Candidates are expected to demonstrate proficiency in
identifying nonconformances, applying corrective actions, interpreting standards, and
making sound quality decisions. This assessment supports verification of readiness for
quality assurance roles within Boeing and its supply chain.
SECTION ONE: QUESTIONS 1–50
,Question 1
Which standard provides the primary quality management system requirements for
the aerospace industry?
A. ISO 9001
B. AS9100
C. ISO 14001
D. AS9102
🟢 Correct Answer: B. AS9100
🔴 Explanation: AS9100 is the aerospace-specific quality management system
standard based on ISO 9001, with additional requirements for aerospace
stakeholders including Boeing.
Question 2
What is the primary purpose of a First Article Inspection (FAI)?
A. To verify production tooling wear
B. To validate that the manufacturing process can produce parts conforming to
design specifications
C. To inspect incoming raw materials only
D. To replace statistical process control
🟢 Correct Answer: B. To validate that the manufacturing process can produce
parts conforming to design specifications
🔴 Explanation: FAI verifies that the manufacturing process, tooling, and inspection
methods produce a part that meets all engineering and design requirements.
,Question 3
Which document defines the requirements for a First Article Inspection in
aerospace?
A. AS9100
B. AS9102
C. AS9110
D. ISO 9001
🟢 Correct Answer: B. AS9102
🔴 Explanation: AS9102 is the aerospace standard specifically governing First
Article Inspection requirements and reporting.
Question 4
A nonconformance report (NCR) is used to:
A. Document customer satisfaction surveys
B. Record and disposition a product or process that does not meet requirements
C. Track employee training records
D. Approve supplier payment
🟢 Correct Answer: B. Record and disposition a product or process that does not
meet requirements
🔴 Explanation: An NCR formally documents a nonconforming condition and its
disposition, such as rework, repair, scrap, or use-as-is.
Question 5
, Which of the following is a preventive action?
A. Replacing a defective component after failure
B. Investigating a customer complaint
C. Modifying a process to eliminate a potential cause of nonconformity
D. Scrapping nonconforming material
🟢 Correct Answer: C. Modifying a process to eliminate a potential cause of
nonconformity
🔴 Explanation: Preventive action addresses potential causes of nonconformity
before they occur, distinguishing it from corrective action.
Question 6
What does the acronym CAPA stand for in quality management?
A. Corrective and Preventive Action
B. Compliance and Process Assessment
C. Continuous Analysis and Process Audit
D. Control and Performance Assurance
🟢 Correct Answer: A. Corrective and Preventive Action
🔴 Explanation: CAPA refers to Corrective and Preventive Action, a core quality
process for addressing actual and potential nonconformities.
Question 7
In statistical process control, what does a control chart detect?
A. Customer satisfaction trends
