1. QUALITY CONTROL SPECIFICATION
Quality control
Quality control is a process employed to ensure a certain level of quality in a product or service.
It may include whatever actions a business deems necessary to provide for the control and
verification of certain characteristics of a product or service. The basic goal of quality control is
to ensure that the products, services, or processes provided meet specific requirements and are
dependable, satisfactory, and fiscally sound.
Essentially, quality control involves the examination of a product, service, or process for certain
minimum levels of quality. The goal of a quality control team is to identify products or services
that do not meet a company’s specified standards of quality. If a problem is identified, the job of
a quality control team or professional may involve stopping production temporarily. Depending
on the particular service or product, as well as the type of problem identified, production or
implementation may not cease entirely.
Usually, it is not the job of a quality control team or professional to correct quality issues.
Typically, other individuals are involved in the process of discovering the cause of quality issues
and fixing them. Once such problems are overcome, the product, service, or process continues
production or implementation as usual.
Quality control can cover not just products, services, and processes, but also people. Employees
are an important part of any company. If a company has employees that don’t have adequate
skills or training, have trouble understanding directions, or are misinformed, quality may be
severely diminished. When quality control is considered in terms of human beings, it concerns
correctable issues. However, it should not be confused with human resource issues.
Often, quality control is confused with quality assurance. Though the two are very similar, there
are some basic differences. Quality control is concerned with the product, while quality
assurance is process–oriented.
Even with such a clear-cut difference defined, identifying the differences between the two can be
hard. Basically, quality control involves evaluating a product, activity, process, or service. By
contrast, quality assurance is designed to make sure processes are sufficient to meet objectives.
Simply put, quality assurance ensures a product or service is manufactured, implemented,
created, or produced in the right way; while quality control evaluates whether or not the end
result is satisfactory.
Quality Control Tools
• This allows the machinist to make required adjustments to the machinery in order to
maintain strict tolerances of the finished parts. Using quality control tools, the machinist
will observe the readings of the selected parts and adjust the machinery to maintain the
proper finish readings.

2. • The establishment and monitoring of standards at department level is just as important to
quality control as overseeing the overall manufacturing process. Computer technology
has made it possible to use automated quality control tools to great effect. Tools of this
type are constantly gathering and arranging data in formats that quality control and
assurance personnel can evaluate.
Quality Control Inspection
• Managing the quality control process often means balancing production standards with
standardized quality control inspection. For purposes of inspection, a company often
uses quality checklists on which the inspector records the number, causes and frequency
of product defaults.
• A degree program in quality management may help students earn positions in quality
control inspection. Such positions may oversee testing techniques for a particular
company or manufacturer.
Quality Control Testing
• Quality control tests are an important part of the manufacturing industry because these
tests ensure the end-users' safety and satisfaction with their purchases. Quality control
tests and methods are usually divided into three basic categories.
• Owners and managers may need to recalibrate their production equipment or train
employees on how to use the equipment. In some ways, quality control tests allow for
an internal inspection to find production errors. Failing to solve the real issue behind poor
quality controls will continue to result in poorly produced products.
Quality Process Control
• A dual major in fashion may be helpful to a quality control engineer that is seeking a job
inspecting clothing, and a minor in computer technology may be useful to someone who
wants to get a job inspecting electronics. There are various other requirements to become
a quality process engineer. An applicant typically needs to be able to write well, know
how to use a computer, have experience with certain programs, and be able to follow
directions.
• Professionals in the field focus on both industrial engineering principles and the
utilization of human labor to ensure efficiency, safety, and quality in production. Among
other tasks, a quality process engineer studies current production and quality control
measures, develops ways to improve them, and trains workers on new policies.
Quality Control Program
• For a quality control process to be successful, specific procedures often need to be
instituted with a manager or supervisor to oversee them. This person may be largely
responsible for both developing a quality control program and also ensuring
expectations are met. In many cases, the purpose of quality control is to ensure all

3. materials and products submitted for delivery conform to contract or customer
requirements.
• By employing a comprehensive and well-regulated process, maintaining quality control
standards can become part of a daily routine. The first step to creating a quality control
program is to determine what is legally required. Many industries must meet
government quality regulations, and are in danger of lawsuits, audits, and recalls if
discrepancies are discovered.
Six Sigma Quality Control
• give unfavorable results are modified, while those that comply with the Six Sigma
quality process are maintained. DMADV—Define, Measure, Analyze, Design,.
• Motorola's Six Sigma business management strategy relies on statistical analysis to
optimize an organization's production process. The Six Sigma quality management
system is used to measure the number of defects that occur during a process.
