Introduction :
Introduction Statistical quality control (SQC) is a method of visually monitoring manufacturing processes. With the use of control charts and collecting few but frequent samples, this method can effectively detect changes in the process that may affect its quality. Under the assumption that a manufactured product has variation and this variation is affected by several process parameters, when SQC is applied to "control" each parameter the final result trend to be a more controlled product. SQC can be very cost efficient, as it usually requires collection and charting data already available, while "product control" requires accepting, rejecting, reworking and scrapping products that already went through the whole process. 3 REVOLUTIONPHARMD.COM
Control Charts:
Control Charts Primary purpose of control charts is to indicate at a glance when production processes might have changed sufficiently to affect product quality. If the indication is that product quality has deteriorated, or is likely to, then corrective measure is taken. If the indication is that product quality is better than expected, then it is important to find out why so that it can be maintained. Use of control charts is often referred to as statistical process control (SPC). 5 REVOLUTIONPHARMD.COM
x-Chart:
x-Chart The central line is x, the sum of a number of sample means collected while the process was considered to be in control divided by the number of samples. The 3 s lower control limit is x - AR The 3 s upper control limit is x + AR Factor A is based on sample size. = = = 9 REVOLUTIONPHARMD.COM
R-Chart:
R-Chart The central line is R, the sum of a number of sample ranges collected while the process was considered to be in control divided by the number of samples. The 3 s lower control limit is D 1 R. The 3 s upper control limit is D 2 R. Factors D 1 and D 2 are based on sample size. 10 REVOLUTIONPHARMD.COM

Conclusion:
Conclusion Quality cannot be inspected into products. Processes must be operated to achieve quality conformance; quality control is used to achieve this. Statistical control charts are used extensively to provide feedback to everyone about quality performance. 16 REVOLUTIONPHARMD.COM
Conclusion:
Conclusion Where 100% inspection and testing are impractical, uneconomical, or impossible, acceptance plans may be used to determine if lots of products are likely to meet customer expectations. The trend is toward 100% inspection and testing; automated inspection and testing has made such an approach effective and economical. 17 REVOLUTIONPHARMD.COM

Quality control, or QC for short, is a process by which entities review the quality of all factors involved in production. This approach places an emphasis on three aspects:[citation needed] 1. Elements such as controls, job management, defined and well managed processes,[1][2] performance and integrity criteria, and identification of records 2. Competence, such as knowledge, skills, experience, and qualifications 3. Soft elements, such as personnel integrity, confidence, organizational culture, motivation, team spirit, and quality relationships. Controls include product inspection, where every product is examined visually, and often using a stereo microscope for fine detail before the product is sold into the external market. Inspectors will be provided with lists and descriptions of unacceptable product defects such as cracks or surface blemishes for example. The quality of the outputs is at risk if any of these three aspects is deficient in any way. Quality control emphasizes testing of products to uncover defects and reporting to management who make the decision to allow or deny product release, whereas quality assurance attempts to improve and stabilize production (and associated processes) to avoid, or at least minimize, issues which led to the defect(s) in the first place.[citation needed] For contract work, particularly work awarded by government agencies, quality control issues are among the top reasons for not renewing a contract.[3]

specification does not reflect the correct quality requirements, quality cannot be inspected or manufactured into the product. For instance, the design of a pressure vessel should include not only the material and dimensions, but also operating, environmental, safety, reliability and maintainability requirements, and documentation of findings about these requirements.
