INTRODUCTION
Throughout this guide the terms detection and prevention apply to quality control systems. A brief
description of both is provided to assist the purchaser in the application of this guide.
The detection system relies on inspection as the primary means of controlling the quality of
furnished material. Methods include in-process and final inspection. In-process inspection is typically
performed by the individual performing the process and generally includes a first-piece inspection by
someone other than the operator. Quality-control inspection may perform audit inspections on the
process output during the course of the production run. In addition, a final inspection is performed by
quality control inspectors according to a prescribed sample plan. The other sample plans utilize zero
defects as their acceptance criteria.
The prevention system uses advanced quality planning in addition to many of the techniques used
in the detection system. Quality planning incorporates a systems approach to quality control that
focuses on defect prevention and continual improvement. In addition, Statistical Process Control
(SPC) is usually applied to control the process, thereby reducing the variability of the output.
The ISO 9000 and/or the ANSI/ASQC Q9000 quality system standards are models that may be used
in establishing a prevention-based quality systems.
