Quality Management And Reliability

Quality Management And Reliability by S. C. Sharma

---

Book Summary:

With the rapid advancement in technology and awareness, the users have become highly quality conscious and demanding. This calls for the products, equipments, and services with high degree of quality, reliability and safety.

The concept of end product inspection has shifted to the philosophy of quality assurance. The belief that quality and elements of reliability and safety has to be built in right from its design stage and enforcement of the stringent quality assurance measures during manufacture has brought in drastic changes in the approach towards quality assurance. Today the quality assurance is based on quality audit checks and surveillance of the manufacturer’s processing environment and quality systems rather than testing and inspection of finished products. In order to improve the reliability of the system, it is important to stipulate reliability requirements of components and sub-systems.
