• Quality engineering: applying the statistical methods to ensure that
the quality characteristics of a product are at the nominal (required)
levels.
•Nominal value: desired value for the quality characteristic
•Specification: desired measurement range for the quality
characteristic
•Upper specification limit (USL): the largest allowance
•Lower specification limit (LSL): the smallest allowance

through elimination of assignable causes
– On-line technique
• Designed of experiments (DOE)
– Discovering the key factors that influence process
performance
– Process optimization
– Off-line technique
• Acceptance Sampling

Two types:
Outgoing inspection - follows production
Incoming inspection - before use in production

Other Aspects of Quality Control and
Improvement
• Total Quality Management (TQM)
• Six Sigma
• Origins at Motorola in 1987, expanded impact during 1990s to
present
• Focus on process improvement with an emphasis on achieving
significant business impact
• A process is an organized sequence of activities that produces
an output that adds value to the organization
• All work is performed in (interconnected) processes
• Any process can be improved
• An organized approach to improvement is necessary
• The process focus is essential to Six Sigma
