What is the primary objective of Quality Control?

  1. To ensure customer satisfaction

  2. To reduce production costs

  3. To increase production efficiency

  4. To comply with regulatory standards


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The primary goal of Quality Control is to ensure that products and services meet customer requirements and expectations, leading to customer satisfaction.

What are the two main types of Quality Control?

  1. Acceptance sampling and Statistical Process Control

  2. Inspection and Testing

  3. Calibration and Measurement

  4. Auditing and Certification


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The two main types of Quality Control are Acceptance sampling, which involves inspecting a sample of products to determine if the entire lot meets quality standards, and Statistical Process Control, which involves monitoring and controlling a process to ensure it remains within specified limits.

What is the purpose of Inspection in Quality Control?

  1. To identify defective products

  2. To verify compliance with specifications

  3. To assess the quality of raw materials

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Inspection in Quality Control serves multiple purposes, including identifying defective products, verifying compliance with specifications, and assessing the quality of raw materials.

Which statistical tool is commonly used to monitor and control a process in Statistical Process Control?

  1. Control Chart

  2. Histogram

  3. Scatter Plot

  4. Pareto Chart


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Control Chart is a statistical tool used in Statistical Process Control to monitor and control a process by plotting data points over time and identifying any deviations from the desired state.

What is the purpose of Acceptance Sampling in Quality Control?

  1. To determine the quality of a lot based on a sample

  2. To identify defective products in a lot

  3. To verify compliance with specifications

  4. To assess the effectiveness of the quality control system


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Acceptance Sampling in Quality Control involves inspecting a sample of products from a lot to determine whether the entire lot meets the specified quality standards.

What is the difference between Quality Assurance and Quality Control?

  1. Quality Assurance focuses on preventing defects, while Quality Control focuses on identifying and correcting defects

  2. Quality Assurance is a proactive approach, while Quality Control is a reactive approach

  3. Quality Assurance is concerned with the entire production process, while Quality Control is concerned with the final product

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Quality Assurance focuses on preventing defects, while Quality Control focuses on identifying and correcting defects. Quality Assurance is a proactive approach, while Quality Control is a reactive approach. Quality Assurance is concerned with the entire production process, while Quality Control is concerned with the final product.

What is the purpose of Calibration in Quality Control?

  1. To ensure the accuracy and reliability of measuring instruments

  2. To verify compliance with specifications

  3. To identify defective products

  4. To assess the effectiveness of the quality control system


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Calibration in Quality Control involves adjusting and verifying the accuracy of measuring instruments to ensure they provide accurate and reliable measurements.

Which sampling method involves selecting a fixed number of items from a lot at regular intervals?

  1. Random Sampling

  2. Systematic Sampling

  3. Stratified Sampling

  4. Acceptance Sampling


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Systematic Sampling involves selecting a fixed number of items from a lot at regular intervals, ensuring a more representative sample compared to simple random sampling.

What is the purpose of a Pareto Chart in Quality Control?

  1. To identify the most frequent defects or problems

  2. To analyze the root causes of defects

  3. To monitor the effectiveness of corrective actions

  4. To assess the performance of quality control personnel


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A Pareto Chart is a graphical representation that helps identify the most frequent defects or problems in a process, allowing for prioritization of corrective actions.

Which statistical tool is used to analyze the relationship between two variables in Quality Control?

  1. Scatter Plot

  2. Histogram

  3. Control Chart

  4. Pareto Chart


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A Scatter Plot is a graphical representation that shows the relationship between two variables, allowing for the identification of trends and correlations.

What is the purpose of a Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R) study in Quality Control?

  1. To assess the accuracy and precision of a measuring instrument

  2. To verify compliance with specifications

  3. To identify defective products

  4. To assess the effectiveness of the quality control system


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R) study is conducted to assess the accuracy and precision of a measuring instrument, ensuring that it provides consistent and reliable measurements.

Which sampling method involves dividing a lot into subgroups and selecting a sample from each subgroup?

  1. Random Sampling

  2. Systematic Sampling

  3. Stratified Sampling

  4. Acceptance Sampling


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Stratified Sampling involves dividing a lot into subgroups based on a specific characteristic and selecting a sample from each subgroup, ensuring a more representative sample.

What is the purpose of a Quality Control Circle (QCC) in a manufacturing environment?

  1. To identify and solve quality problems

  2. To improve employee morale and engagement

  3. To reduce production costs

  4. To enhance customer satisfaction


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A Quality Control Circle (QCC) is a group of employees who meet regularly to identify and solve quality problems in their workplace, promoting continuous improvement.

Which statistical tool is used to determine the capability of a process in Quality Control?

  1. Control Chart

  2. Histogram

  3. Scatter Plot

  4. Process Capability Index (Cp, Cpk)


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The Process Capability Index (Cp, Cpk) is a statistical tool used to determine the capability of a process, indicating how well the process can meet the specified requirements.

What is the purpose of a Quality Audit in Quality Control?

  1. To assess the effectiveness of the quality control system

  2. To identify areas for improvement

  3. To verify compliance with regulatory standards

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A Quality Audit is a systematic and independent examination of a quality control system to assess its effectiveness, identify areas for improvement, and verify compliance with regulatory standards.
