A control, such as inspection or testing, introduced into an industrial or business process to ensure quality
Monitoring of systems and processes to ensure that quality of work is within defined tolerances
Quality control is the management concept where higher quality, lower cost, and more rapid development are keys for improving the quality-cost characteristics of products, processes, and services Just designing to meet specifications is not sufficient Quality losses begin to accumulate whenever a product parameter deviates from its normal or optimal value and it is recognized that quality must be designed into products and processes (Blanchard and Fabrycky, 1990) Back To The Story
A system for programming and co-ordinating the efforts of the various groups in an organisation to maintain or improve quality, at an economic level which allows for customer satisfaction

A system by which a desired standard of quality in a product or process is maintained Quality control usually requires feeding back information about measured defects to further improvements of the process
The measurement of the outputs of a process to ensure that they meet a required standard In critical processes all outputs are tested for compliance In non-critical processes, a sample is normally tested and action is only taken if the sample fails the required standard
System of control meant to guarantee, by periodic inspections, that a certain amount of quality is being maintained during the production of the product in question Materials, procedures, tools, etc , as well as the product itself are inspected
A form of inspection involving sampling of parts in a mathematical manner to determine whether or not the entire production run is acceptable, a specified number of defective parts being permissible
