Certified Quality Process Analysts are paraprofessionals who analyze and solve quality problems and are involved in quality improvement projects. They support and work under the direction of quality engineers or supervisors. This handbook is designed to help recent graduates and those with work experience prepare to take the certification examination. It offers detailed coverage of each of the four main sections of the CQPA Body of Knowledge: quality basics; problem solving and improvement; data analysis; and customer-supplier relations.
