Question: What is quality control and what is inspection, in statistical quality control?

Answer: There is a distinction between “quality control” as a general, ongoing process in manufacturing and “statistical quality control” as the term is used for inspection before, during or after production.

Quality control (QC) is an ongoing process that begins at the earliest stages of manufacturing. Selecting parts and materials to be used in production, training staff and calibrating equipment in the factory could all be considered part of overall QC. Remember, quality is built into a product, it can’t be added after the fact. For example, if a factory produces an order of garments, but has used fabric with the wrong material composition, there’s not much that can be done now that the product is finished. （Author:John Niggl  From: Quora）
