5. Quality Control
•A series of analytical measurements usedto assess the quality of the analytical
data. (The “tools”).
•It may be defined as managing the entire organization so that it excels on all
dimensions of products and services that are important to the customer.
•Quality Control defined as an effective system for integrating the quality
development, quality maintenance and quality improvement efforts of the various
groups in an organization so as to enable production and service at the most
economical level which allow for full customer satisfaction.
•It may be classified as a ‘‘Management Tool’’ for many industries outstanding
improvement in product quality design and reduction in operating costs and
losses.
6. Quality Control
Product quality is defined as ‘‘The composite product of engineering and
manufacture that determine the degree to which the product in use will meet the
expectations of the customer’’.
‘‘Control’’ represents a tool with four steps :
i. Setting up of quality standards.
ii. Appraising conformance to these standards.
iii. Acting when these standards are exceeded.
iv. Planning for improvements in these standards.
Quality control emerges as a based function based on the collection analysis
and interpretations of data on all aspects of the enterprise.
7. Quality Control
• Total quality control is an aid for good engineering designs, good manufacturing
methods and conscious inspection activity that have always been required for the
production of high quality articles.
•Quality of any product is effected at many stages of the industrial cycle :
i. Marketing : Evaluates the level of Quality which customers want for which they
are willing to pay.
ii. Engineering : Reduces this marketing evaluations to exact specification.
iii. Purchasing : Chooses, contracts with and retains vendors for parts and materials.
iv. Manufacturing Engineering : Select the jigs, tools and processes for production.
v. Manufacturing Supervision and shop operators : Exert a major quality influence
during parts making, sub assembly and final assembly.
vi. Mechanical Inspection and function Test : Check conformance to specifications.
vii. Shipping : Influences the caliber of packaging and transportation.
viii. Installation : Helps ensure proper operations by installing the product according
to proper instructions and maintaining it through product service.
• In other words, the determination of both quality and quality costs actually takes
place throughout the entire industrial cycle. Quality control is responsible for quality
assurance at optimum quality costs.
8. Acceptance Quality Limit
The “AQL tables” are statistical tools at the disposal of buyers (for product
inspections). They help determine two key elements:
•How many samples should be picked and inspected, among a batch of product or
parts?
•Where is the limit between acceptability and refusal, when it comes to defective
products?
The need for an objective measurement of quality:
•In certain product categories, there will be defective products in virtually every
production batch. It is often true even after the manufacturer has checked each
individual product and has repaired the defective ones, since visual inspection is not
100% reliable.
•Therefore, in many supplier/buyer relationships (particularly when the application
does not result in life or death outcomes), the supplier is not expected to
deliver defect-free goods. The buyer needs to control the quality of purchased
goods, since he does not want too many defects. But what does “too many” mean?
9. Definition and application of ‘AQL’:
• It is defined as the “quality level that is the worst tolerable”
For example: “I want no more than 1.5% defective items in the whole order quantity,
on average over several production runs with that supplier” means the AQL is 1.5%.
In practice, three types of defects are distinguished. For most consumer goods, the
limits are:
1. 0% for critical defects (totally unacceptable: a user might get harmed, or
regulations are not respected).
2. 2.5% for major defects (these products would usually not be considered
acceptable by the end user).
3. 4.0% for minor defects (there is some departure from specifications, but most
users would not mind it).
These proportions vary in function of the product and its market. Components used in
building an airplane are subject to much lower AQL limits.
10. Getting familiar with the AQL tables
Before using the AQL tables, you should know three parameters:
•The ‘lot size’. If you ordered different products, the quantity of each product is a lot
size, and it is advised to perform separate inspections for each lot. If you ordered only
one product, the lot size is the total batch quantity.
•The inspection level. Different inspection levels will command different numbers of
samples to inspect. In this article, we will stick to the so-called “level II” under “normal
severity” and to single sampling plans.
•The AQL level appropriate for your market. If your customers accept very few defects,
you might want to set a lower AQL for both major and minor defects.
There are basically two tables. The first one tells you which ‘code letter’ to use. Then,
the code letter will give you the sample size and the maximum numbers of defects that
can be accepted.
11. Sample size code letters:
•
•How to read this table?
If you follow my example, I assume your ‘lot size’ is comprised between 3,201
pcs and 10,000 pcs, and that your inspection level is ‘II’. Consequently, the
code letter is “L”.
12. Single sampling plans for level II inspection:
•
How to read this table?
Your code letter is “L”, so you will have to draw 200 pcs randomly from the total lot
size.
Besides, I assume you have set your AQL at 2.5% for major defects and 4.0% for
minor defects. Therefore, here are the limits: the products are accepted if NO MORE
than 10 products with major defects AND NO MORE than 14 products with minor
defects are found.
For example, if you find 15 products with major defects and 12 products with minor
defects, the products are refused. If you find 3 with major defects and 7 with minor
defects, they are accepted.
