Simple introduction on QC

[DoctorSolar]

Dear Colleagues,

I am actually working in a developing country and facing the problem to provide some basic knowledge on quality control in manufacturing processes of electronic devices.

As quantities to be manufactured are around 2000, the need for QC is on basic, therefore simple introductionary literature would be sufficient.

I am sure that there is some literature availble on internet, and would like to ask you to provide me with links, where simple introduction on QC can be found, expecially when dealing with electronic components.

As I am quite isolated, the Internet is the only way to obtain information or literature.

Thank you for your help.

Well.....check Internetand take a basic course on QC....then teach your fellows. Ask to more "experienced" fellows in that developing country,I am sure you will find them.

Quality has frequently been defined as conformance to requirements. Regardless of your product line (electronics, machined parts, S/W code, services, etcetera), the most important documentation for you as QC should be your product specs & any industry specs referenced in the customer requirements (contract, customer drawings, etcetera) plus any internal quality management system at your facility.

Become familiar with those & ensure compliance. This is applicable for QC for any product.

There are a number of online courses available on

http://www.asq.org

to help you progress to QA from QC.

What is the difference between QA & QC?

Quality control activities are product oriented. QC has the goal of preventing nonconforming product from getting out the door to the customer. QC measures the product via inspection & testing (I&T), documenting deviations from spec, and ensuring QA directives are implemented producing a conforming product for the customer.

Quality assurance activities are process & systems oriented. QA has the goal of preventing nonconformance that QC would need to catch at I&T - they do this through policy definition, design evaluation, process improvement, planning, training, documentation development and QC efforts.
