ABSTRACT
Before the large-scale manufacture of an item can begin, there must be a specification of the procedures of in-process and final inspection essential to assure a good finished product. The documentation covering this work represent the quality plan. It conveys to the people concerned with the operation the instructions to be followed in building quality into the product. The primary responsibility for the development of quality plans rests with the process engineer, who uses the process flow charts and process descriptions to ascertain the best points of product control through in-process and final inspection.
