Effective Quality Control

Module 1: Section 1: Relevance of Statistics to Quality

• Understand the significance of statistical methods in quality control processes.
• Learn how statistical analysis contributes to identifying and addressing variations in product or service quality.

Section 2: Quality Control vs. Quality Assurance

• Differentiate between quality control and quality assurance and understand their respective roles in ensuring product or service quality.
• Explore how quality control focuses on identifying defects in finished products, while quality assurance emphasizes preventing defects through process improvements.

Module 2: Section 1: Acceptance Sampling System

• Gain insights into acceptance sampling systems and their role in determining the quality of incoming or outgoing product batches.
• Understand the principles and applications of acceptance sampling in quality control processes.

Section 2: Sampling Procedure for Inspection by Attributes

• Learn about the sampling procedures used for inspecting product attributes, such as size, color, or functionality.
• Understand how attribute sampling helps in making decisions about accepting or rejecting product batches based on predefined quality criteria.

Section 3: Sampling Procedure for Inspection by Variables

• Explore sampling procedures for inspecting product characteristics measured on a continuous scale, such as weight or dimensions.
• Understand the principles of variable sampling and its application in assessing product quality.

Section 4: Evaluating Sampling Plans

• Learn methods for evaluating the effectiveness of sampling plans in terms of their ability to detect defects and ensure product quality.
• Understand the factors influencing the selection of appropriate sampling plans for specific quality control scenarios.

Module 3: Section 1: The 7 QC Tools

• Familiarize yourself with the seven basic quality control tools and their applications in analyzing and solving quality-related issues.
• Learn how tools like histograms, Pareto charts, and cause-and-effect diagrams can aid in quality improvement initiatives.

Section 2: Effective Problem Solving Process

• Understand a structured problem-solving process for addressing quality issues systematically.
• Learn techniques for identifying root causes, implementing corrective actions, and monitoring the effectiveness of solutions in improving product or service quality.
