Based on published standards

The questions are original scenarios, and each one names the public standard, official guide or research it draws on — shown under the question while you answer, and linked in your review. These are the sources behind this test:

Try a sample question

A process has Cp = 1.6 but Cpk = 0.8. This most likely means

  1. the measurement system can't be trusted at all
  2. the process spread is too wide for the specs
  3. the process is capable in spread but off-centre
  4. the process is perfectly centred on target
Show the answer

C. the process is capable in spread but off-centre — Cpk accounts for centring. The real test has 25 questions like this.
