Abstract
This chapter introduces Quality Control by means of an intuitive example. Furthermore, that example is used to illustrate how to use the R statistical software and programming language for Quality Control. A description of R outlining its advantages is also included in this chapter, all in all paving the way to further investigation throughout the book.
