e. Quality Assurance (QA)
This
is concerned with the establishment and maintenance of documented
procedures designed to ensure that design, development and opoational
activities result in product or services contracted requirements.
f. Quality determination (QC)
This
embraces all activities concerned with measurement, data collection and
analysis, conducted within the plans laid down by QA, which are
designed to give early warning of negative trends in processes to enable
corrective action to be taken before defective work is produced.
g. Statistical Quality determination (SQC)
This
is one and the same with statistical process control (SPC). A part of
QC, but including a wide range of technique for the diagnosis,
elimination and control of process related problems. The techniques vary
from simple to the sglisticated.
h. Inspecting (I)
This has to do
with the taking of measurement with comparison purposes after the event
of production or the completion of services. While it is hoped that
someday this activity will be a thing of the past, it will probably be
with us for a long while for obvious reasons. However, it should be
noted that inspection adds nothing to the value of the product or
services, but rather add it’s cost. If TQ measures are followed
strictly, reliance on inspection should almost be eliminated or reduced.
