Quality management ensures that an organization, product or service consistently functions as intended. It has four main components: quality planning, quality assurance, quality control, and quality improvement. [1] Customers recognize that quality is an important attribute when choosing and purchasing products and services.
QA/QC is the combination of quality assurance, the process or set of processes used to measure and assure the quality of a product, and quality control, the process of ensuring products and services meet consumer expectations.
Quality control (QC) is a process by which entities review the quality of all factors involved in production. ISO 9000 defines quality control as "a part of quality management focused on fulfilling quality requirements".
Quality assurance (QA) is the term used in both manufacturing and service industries to describe the systematic efforts taken to assure that the product(s) delivered to customer(s) meet with the contractual and other agreed upon performance, design, reliability, and maintainability expectations of that customer. The core purpose of Quality ...
The main merits of wireline QA/QC include accuracy and precision of recorded data and information. Accuracy is a measure of the correctness of the result and is generally depended on how well the systematic errors (a reproductible inaccuracy introduced by faulty design, inadequate calibration or a change in borehole) are controlled and ...
Kaoru Ishikawa identified five uses for check sheets in quality control: [3]: 30 To check the shape of the probability distribution of a process; To quantify defects by type; To quantify defects by location; To quantify defects by cause (machine, worker) To keep track of the completion of steps in a multistep procedure (in other words, as a ...
The seven basic tools of quality are a fixed set of visual exercises identified as being most helpful in troubleshooting issues related to quality. [1] They are called basic because they are suitable for people with little formal training in statistics and because they can be used to solve the vast majority of quality-related issues.
Quality control begins with sample collection and ends with the reporting of data. [4] AQC is achieved through laboratory control of analytical performance. Initial control of the complete system can be achieved through specification of laboratory services, instrumentation, glassware, reagents, solvents, and gases.
