Quality Assurance vs. Quality Control in Manufacturing
Is there actually a difference between Quality Assurance and Quality Control?
The short answer is…
YES!
Although often used interchangeably…
the terms Quality Control and Quality Assurance refer to two distinct processes.
And these two processes are essential for a manufacturing operation to run successfully.
Lets’ take a look at what each process entails:
Quality Assurance involves the verification of manufacturing quality.
This means that Quality Assurance helps to ensure that exceptional that exceptional manufacturing processes are in place and that exceptional products are the result of those processes.
Quality Assurance validates the quality of the output by the manufacturing process.
This entails actually checking the quality of the finished product and correcting any errors prior to shipping out to customers.
As a process, Quality Assurance always happens before quality control
In the Quality Control stage, products are tested to ensure proper function.
If there are defects, products are corrected to meet production standards.
For manufacturing companies, implementing Quality Assurance and Quality Control processes saves on:
Time, Money, and Labor.
By having these processes in place, manufacturers can count on seeing fewer mistakes and fewer losses throughout production.
The result?
Quicker Turnaround Times, Higher Production quality, and More Satisfied Customers
