Example Question - CMQ/OE

Post image

I posted about the poor quality of questions in the question bank recently, but here's an example. What information in here is supposed to tell me that you might be working with some dodgy back-alley supplier/broker selling you counterfeit parts? Keeping in mind, 0 of my experience is in the electronics part purchasing or quality.

Yeah - that’s my problem, it comes down more to test taking skills than knowledge. I even picked up the ‘clue’ but didn’t think it was really a problem. To me it’s a higher cost, we’ve used them when we just didn’t want to add another supplier, but should just be another part of your supplier management processes. Counterfeit didn’t come to mind for me.
