Abstract

Statistical Quality Control tries to predict the behavior of a given process through the collection of a subset of data coming from the performance of the process. This chapter showcases the importance of sampling and describes the most important techniques used to draw representative samples. An example using R on how to plot Operating Characteristic (OC) curves and its application to determine the sample size of groups within a sampling process is shown. Finally, the ISO Standards related to sampling are summarized.
