Quality control, or
for short, is a process in which all persons consider the quality factors
involved in the production. This approach focuses on three aspects:
1. Elements such as management,
job management, defined and well
managed processes, performance and integrity criteria and identification of
records.
2. Competence, such as knowledge, skills, experience and
qualifications.
3. Soft items such as personnel, honesty, confidence,
organizational culture, motivation, team spirit, and quality relationships.
Controls include product control, where every product is
inspected visually, and often using a stereo microscope for small parts before
the product is sold in a foreign market. Inspectors will be provided lists and
descriptions of products of unacceptable defects such as cracks or surface
defects .Quality of the activities is at risk if any of these three aspects is
deficient in any quality matters .Control emphasizes testing of products to
uncover defects, and reporting to management
who decides whether to enable or disable the output, while trying to improve
the quality assurance and production of stabilized (and related processes) to
avoid or at least minimize the problems which led to the defect (s) first. For contract work, particularly work
awarded by government agencies, quality
control is one of the main reasons for not extending the contract.
