Abstract

The development of the manufacturing industry in Japan is attributable to manufacturers who developed Japanese quality control method by learning Statistical Quality Control (SQC), which represent the scientific quality control methodologies advocated by Dr. Deming [1], Dr. Shewhart [2] et al. They incorporated these methodologies into their activities for improving quality engineering through Total Quality Management (TQM) by Dr. Juran [3], et al.
