Abstract
The Webster’s dictionary defines quality control as “an aggregate of activities (as design analysis and statistical sampling with inspection for defects) designed to ensure adequate quality in manufactured products.” This is a passive definition in that it concerns only with ‘adequate quality’ and makes no mention of an effort to constantly improve the quality. In this paper by quality control we also mean an active effort to improve the quality.
