Quality control and assurance: tools
SPC
SPC, or Statistical Process Control, is a special approach to quality control. It relies on statistical tools to monitor the performance of production processes in real time, in order to control and limit their variability.
FMEA
FMEA is an approach used in the quality assurance and control sector. It is used to identify possible failure modes in a process or product, assess their consequences, and adopt preventive measures to anticipate them.
RCA
RCA is widely used in the field of quality assurance and control. Its aim is to detect the root causes of a problem or non-conformity, so that effective corrective measures can be put in place to resolve them.
Kaizen, which means “positive change” or “continuous improvement” in Japanese, is a systematic, participatory method for continuously improving processes. Its principle is based on the idea that successive small improvements can lead to significant gains in productivity, quality and overall efficiency.
Project management
PERT method for deadline analysis
The PERT method is an effective strategy for examining and managing project deadlines, taking uncertainties into account and focusing on optimizing resources to meet planned deadlines.
Gantt chart for visualizing tasks
The Gantt chart is an effective tool for visualizing and managing tasks within a project. It provides an overview of the planning, duration and progress of different activities.
