Abstract
Statistical quality control means application of statistical techniques for checking the quality of products. The products include manufactured goods such as computers, mobile phones, automobiles, clothing and services such as health care, banking, and public transportation. The word “quality” is defined in many ways. To some people, quality means fitness for use. To others, quality is inversely proportional to variability. Some people also think that quality means degree of conformance to specifications of products. One can read Montgomery (2001) for a detailed discussion on the meaning of quality. Whatsoever be the definition of quality, there are many statistical methods available for checking the quality of products. In this chapter, we will focus on one of the two important methods, namely, acceptance sampling. In the next chapter, we will discuss the other method-quality control chart.
