Quality Control, Inspection, Repair, and Testing

  • Chapter
Surface Mount Technology

Abstract

Quality control is the key to effective competition in the international market The dominance of the consumer electronics, steel, and automotive industries by Japan is largely attributed to the manufacture by Japanese firms of products of consistent quality. An actual difference in cost effectiveness will result when manufacturable designs are produced in tightly controlled processes.
