Quality Control
Quality Control (QC) is a systematic process aimed at ensuring that products or services meet specified quality standards and requirements. It involves the continuous monitoring, inspection, and testing of materials, components, and finished goods throughout the production process. The goal of quality control is to identify and address defects or issues before they reach the customer, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and maintaining a company's reputation. Techniques used in quality control can include statistical process control, sampling techniques, and various testing methods to assess quality attributes such as functionality, reliability, and compliance with regulatory standards. QC is an essential aspect of quality management and often works in conjunction with quality assurance processes to create a comprehensive approach to maintaining product excellence.
