Statistical quality control (SQC) refers to the statistical tools used by quality professionals. SQC was pioneered in the 1920s by Walter Shewhart who developed control charts. Shewhart consulted on applying control charts during WWII. W. Edwards Deming helped introduce SQC methods to American and Japanese industry. SQC includes descriptive statistics, statistical process control (SPC), and acceptance sampling. Descriptive statistics describe quality characteristics while SPC uses control charts to monitor processes and determine if they are in a state of statistical control. Acceptance sampling involves inspecting samples to determine if full lots meet standards.

Many self-employed people will receive a grant through the new Self-Employed Income Support Scheme (SEISS) this month. These payments can be up to £7,500 and will be counted as earnings under Universal Credit.
As a result, lots of self-employed households will be affected by the complex 'surplus earnings' rules for the first time. In short, these rules mean that for many households, the SEISS money will be taken into account as earnings not just for the month it was received, but for future months as well.
Welfare advisors need to understand the rules, and need a tool that can calculate eligibility all in one place, in order to advise people what their Universal Credit payments will be, and when they need to reclaim.
Hear from Sue McCarron from Citizens Advice Wirral who shared how frontline staff have supported customers facing with fluctuating income using the Benefit and Budgeting Calculator.

Utilising new technologies to reduce farm risk- what does the future hold?”IrishFarmers
This document discusses several new technologies that could help futureproof aquaculture in Ireland. It identifies key issues like labor costs, markets, and environmental threats. New sensors can monitor water quality in real-time, detecting pathogens. Computer vision systems can analyze thousands of images per minute to automatically quantify phytoplankton. "Lab-on-a-fish" devices can monitor fish health by inserting sensors under their skin to track location, vitals and surroundings. Adopting these technologies may reduce labor needs, improve monitoring, and enable expanded aquaculture production through better risk management.
Successful Soil Fertility Management in 2022IrishFarmers
The document provides guidance on soil fertility management for 2022. It recommends applying slurry and fertilizer based on soil test results and grass growth to maximize nutrient use efficiency while minimizing costs. Specifically, it advises applying smaller amounts of slurry or manure in February as grass growth increases, and supplementing with fertilizer as needed to meet grass demands through March. The overall goal is to build soil fertility through balanced nutrient applications for increased grass production, profitability, and environmental sustainability.
Input Price Challenges: Impact & Strategies to MitigateIrishFarmers
The document discusses strategies for farmers to mitigate rising input costs in 2022.
