TOC stands for test of conformance, which tests whether products and processes conform to their specifications. TOC is applicable to both tangible products in manufacturing and intangible products in services. The health of an organization depends on the quality of its products and processes. TOC ensures that products meet requirements for performance, durability, and reliability, while also ensuring processes meet efficiency, quality, and capability standards. Special processes like casting and heat treatment especially require regular TOC to meet industry guidelines. Materials info consultancy offers TOC support to help organizations maintain quality in their products and processes.

2. What is TOC
TOC
 TOC is test of conformance to the specifications
 TOC is Applicable to :
 Products
 Processes
 Products can be tangible as in Manufacturing sector i.e Engineering,
Automotive, Aerospace etc or Intangible as in service sectors like
Banking, hotels, health care, Insurance etc
 Similarly the processes could be manufacturing processes and
service sector processes i.e non manufacturing

3. TOC and Organizational Health
 Health of an organisation depends on the product and
processes .
 The organisation can be a manufacturing ( Engineering
/automotive) or a service sector.
 When we talk about the product, it is the final outcome of a
sequence of processes .
 In case of a manufacturing sector The product is a tangible
one which can be realized , touched and felt .
 whereas in case of service sectors like hospitals, banks, hotels,
real estate agency, insurance companies, airlines etc the final
product in many case is not a tangible one. It can be only
perceived by the end customers who can then comment
about Quality of the same while going through all the
processes inherent in the system

4. TOC For Product and Process
Test of conformance of a product assumes great
significance which shall be done at regular intervals
 To make sure that product meets all the requirements as
per the specifications
 Product would definitely be able to meet the expectation
of end customer in terms of performance, durability and
reliability .
 The processes or the sequence/flow used to manufacture
the product assume much more significance to ensure a
product which is reliable , durable and consistently meets
the required specification levels over time.
 This calls for the process requirements i.e efficiency, cycle
time, process rejections i.e ppm, process capability etc.

5. TOC For special processes and service sector
 The processes particularly special processes like casting,
forging, heat treatment, coating, plating , welding ,
molding etc need to be validated at regular intervals to
make sure that process meets the required guidelines as
per AIAG CQI procedures/end customer requirements .
 Same is true for the processes in service sector where the
end customer differentiates a particular service provider
than other based on various process attributes including
Quality, time taken, error proofness, Price/cost,
behaviors/courteousness of staff etc.
