Description

Designed to aid candidates in preparing for ASQ Certified Quality Technician (CQT) certification exam, this fourth edition of the handbook aligns with the 2024 ASQ CQT Body of Knowledge (BoK). It also serves as an ideal reference for quality professionals responsible for implementing quality concepts and tools on the job. The editors have included statistical techniques, calibration and metrology procedures, inspection and testing techniques, and corrective and preventive action, as well as examples with algebra-based math throughout the book to show practical application of the material.

This fourth edition reflects the following BoK updates:
  • In section I, one new subtopic was added: I.B.8, Problem solving techniques.
  • In section II, subtopic II.A.2 and II.A.3 were combined, and normal curve was added.
  • In section VI, there were several revisions made to the subtext, including adding new pieces of knowledge. One subtopic increased in cognitive level (1.A.2) and two subtopics decreased in cognitive level (II.C.3 and III.A).
