    Study Notes

    Basic Concept of Quality Assurance and Quality Control

    • Quality Assurance (QA) refers to systematic processes designed to ensure that products or services meet specific requirements and standards prior to delivery.
    • QA focuses on preventing defects and improving processes within an organization.
    • Quality Control (QC) involves the operational techniques and activities used to fulfill requirements for quality, focusing on identification and correction of defects in finished products.
    • QC typically involves testing and inspection of products to ensure they adhere to defined standards.
    • Both QA and QC form a crucial part of a quality management system (QMS), contributing to overall quality improvement and customer satisfaction.
    • QA encompasses activities such as process audits, training, and documentation to maintain standards.
    • QC often includes statistical process control, inspection plans, and feedback loops to improve product quality.
    • Effectiveness of QA is measured through process metrics, while QC effectiveness is gauged by product metrics such as defect rates.
    • Implementing a robust QA/QC process can lead to reduced costs, enhanced productivity, and increased customer trust in the products or services offered.
