Statistical quality control is a method of ensuring that products or services meet certain
standards by using statistical techniques to monitor and control the production process. It
involves the use of statistical methods to identify and correct deviations from the desired
quality.
Product control refers to the process of ensuring that a product meets certain quality
standards. It involves inspecting and testing the product to detect any defects or deviations
from the desired quality.
Process control refers to the process of monitoring and controlling the production process
to ensure that it operates within predetermined limits. It involves using statistical
techniques to detect any deviations from the desired process parameters.
A control chart is a graphical tool used to monitor and control a process. It is a plot of a
process parameter (e.g., mean, range) against time, with control limits to detect any
deviations from the desired value.

Producer's risk is the risk of rejecting a good product (Type I error), while consumer's risk is
the risk of accepting a defective product (Type II error).
Tolerance limits are the acceptable limits of variation in a product or process parameter.
Two-sided tolerance limits are used when there are both upper and lower specification
limits.
