QUALITY ASSURANCE
QA is a systematic approach to prevent defects and
ensure that products meet specified quality standards
throughout the production process.

QUALITY CONTROL
QC involves the process of inspecting and testing
products to identify and correct any defects after they
have been manufactured.
ROLE OF QA
• Ensures processes are in place to prevent defects.
• Focuses on process improvement and standardization.

For example, let’s consider our industry, In a leather


product manufacturing company, QA involves setting
standardized procedures for each stage throughout the
production including cutting, stitching, and finishing. This
ensures that each step is performed consistently to meet
quality standards.
ROLE OF QC
•Involves inspecting and testing products to identify defects.
•Takes place during the production & after the product is
manufactured.

For example, In leather product manufacturing, QC


involves inspecting products for defects like stitching
irregularities, color variations, or surface imperfections
throughout the production. Any identified issues are
corrected before the product is shipped to customers.
KEY DIFFERENCES
QA QC
Focuses on preventing involves detecting and
defects through process correcting defects after

QA is proactive QC is reactive.

For example, In leather manufacturing, QA ensures that all


the processes are standardized to minimize defects.
QC, on the other hand, identifies and corrects defects like
visible damages or crooked stitching before the final
product is shipped.
QA & QC IN AN ORGANISATION
