ABSTRACT

This paper introduces two approaches of the cost-oriented QC and the process-oriented QC, and compares them on several aspects. The cost-oriented QC tries to assure the specified quality level by sampling inspection within minimum quality cost, while the process-oriented QC aims at realization of target value of quality specification through process adjustment when a product deviates from the target. But the final purpose of both approaches is on quality assurance for markets and consumers. After all, desirability is a question of quality cost. This paper suggests two of cost functions for decision making criterion.
