How to Use This Book
To assist readers in using this book as a ready reference or as a study aid,
the book has been organized so as to conform explicitly to the ASQ CQI
BoK. Each chapter title, all major topical divisions within the chapters, and
every main point has been titled and then numbered exactly as they appear in the
CQI BoK.
To gain the most benefit from reading this book, it is intended that readers initially
read the material in the order in which it is presented. Having read the material
sequentially from beginning to end, readers are encouraged to then reread
material unfamiliar or unclear to them to gain additional insights and mastery.
It should be noted that many references were used to support development
of the ASQ CQI BoK and by the authors to write this book. Individuals learning
about quality inspection should expect to begin building a library of their
own support materials—materials that have been identified in this book as well
as identified and recommended on ASQ’s Web site.
