Personnel should normally be assigned to a unit for how many months before being selected as Quality Assurance (QA) isnpectors?
Correct Answer
B. 6
Explanation
Personnel should normally be assigned to a unit for at least 6 months before being selected as Quality Assurance (QA) inspectors. This time period allows them to gain sufficient experience and knowledge about the unit's operations and processes, which is essential for effectively carrying out QA inspections. Assigning personnel for a shorter duration may not provide them with enough exposure and understanding of the unit's functioning, potentially leading to inadequate QA inspections.
