CHAPTER .
INTRODUCTION

.7.7INTRODUCTION /Fo0( S<e .46
Quality is an i!portant aspect of any !anufacturing process. 6nly high
quality products can sur=i=e in the !ar)et. The custo!er not only wants quality/
precision and trouble free products/ but he wants the! for an attracti=e price. The
A!erican >ociety for Quality 9ontrol defines quality as RThe totality of features
and characteristics of a product or ser=ice that bears on its ability to satisfy a
userSs gi=en needs. (hen a product consists of two or !ore co!ponents/ being
asse!bled then the quality of that product depends upon the quality of asse!bly.
The quality of an asse!bly depends on the quality of the parts being asse!bled.
The co!ponent of an asse!bly will ha=e !any quality characteristics. The
co!ponent quality characteristics that contribute for the asse!bly/ decides the
quality of that asse!bly. The quality of the asse!bly depends on the resulting
tolerance. The resulting tolerance is the result of =ariation in the co!ponent
quality characteristics. Therefore/ the =ariations in co!ponent quality
characteristics play a !a'or role in the quality of asse!bly.

5n nature/ two e-tre!ely si!ilar things are difficult to obtain. 5f at all
we co!e across e-actly si!ilar things/ it !ust be only by chance. This fact holds

good for production process as well. 4o production process is good enough to
produce all ite!s of products e-actly ali)e. 5n all !anufacturing process/
!anufacturing of co!ponents with zero =ariation is practically not possible. All
the co!ponents in a sa!e !anufacturing line will differ one or the other.
Therefore/ the =ariability is ine=itable in any !anufacturing process.
