"Quality Management and Quality Control: New Trends and Developments" ed. by Paulo A. R.Pereira, Sandra M. M. Xavier Da Silva

The book is focused on new trends and developments in Quality management (QM) and Quality control (QC) in several types of industries from a worldwide perspective.

Quality management (QM) practices are the basis for the successful implementation and maintenance of any QM system. Quality control (QC) is identified as a QM component. Therefore, QM effectiveness is dependent on the QC strategy. QC practice is more or less complex depending on the type of production.

Its content has been organized into two sections and seven chapters written by well-recognized researchers worldwide. Several approaches are debated based on sample traceability, analytical method validation, required parameters, class of exponential regression-type estimators of the population means, determination of impurities, viewpoints, and case studies.
