Quality Control

Quality Control (QC) refers to the systematic process of ensuring that products meet specified standards and requirements throughout the design, production, and delivery phases. It involves the implementation of testing and inspection protocols to identify defects and ensure consistency in quality. By maintaining rigorous QC practices, organizations can enhance customer satisfaction, reduce waste, and improve overall product reliability.
