Abstract
Quality control is a process through which management seeks to ensure that product quality is maintained or improved and manufacturing errors are reduced or eliminated. This is done through product inspections.
This chapter presents two statistically popular methods; statistical quality control (SQC) and statistical process control (SPC).
SQC is a technique for error detection and removal of reject items in order to meet quality specifications as specified.
SPC is a technique for error prevention rather than error detection.
