Quality Control
Quality control refers to the procedures used to ensure that products and services meet defined quality standards and customer expectations. This includes the inspection and testing of materials, production processes, finished products, and services to identify and correct errors or deviations from desired quality levels. Quality control is an essential part of the production and supply chain and plays a central role in a company's ability to maintain customer satisfaction and competitiveness.

What Does Quality Control Entail?
The quality control process begins with establishing quality standards that products and services must meet. These standards may be based on internal guidelines, customer requirements, or industry and regulatory standards. Subsequently, inspection and testing procedures are implemented at various stages of production to measure whether the products meet these standards. Deviations from quality standards are promptly addressed to make the necessary adjustments or repairs.
