Abstract
This chapter presents the current quality control techniques used for dimensional measurement data used in small to medium sized and global manufacturing industries. Quality is defined as strict and consistent adherence to measureable and verifiable standards to achieve uniformity of output that satisfies specific customer or user requirements. It is exactly this striving for quality within manufacturing today that separates one business from the other with respect to production costs, product reliability, and brand reputation. There are many approaches to establishing a quality program and many tools to choose from. This chapter describes these approaches and tools in order to provide a backdrop for the types of information that are central to quality analysis and data reporting. Information modeling for different manufacturing industries is discussed for different types of quality control at the end of this chapter.
