industry [16]. The term six sigma instigated by Motorola as well as various motivated international organizations have fixed goal concerning a six sigma level of implementation [17].

Moreover, acceptance sampling is alternative statistical techniques that concluded whether to take or refuse a quota based on the information from the sample. The request for the approval of sampling permits industries to minimize the product demolition through examination and to raise the inspection capacity and efficiency. The request of getting sampling has been chiefly employed in manufacturing industry; however, Slattery [18] reported its application

Quality standards are an integral part of the quality system. They are designed to help laboratories meet regulatory requirements, including local health regulations, and monitor laboratory functions, thereby ensuring laboratory safety and consistency of performance. A quality

The methodologies for the implementation of quality control can be differ in diverse organizations. Irrespective the methodologies of the continuous improvement program, each organization desire to use the proper tools and techniques in the process of implementation. The selection of tools and techniques is depend on the demands and applied appropriately to the

The PDCA is an essential concept for quality improvement processes, easy to understand and followed by most of the organizations. The most significant characteristic of PDCA lies in the "act" phase after the completion [19]. The six-sigma procedure is consistent and delivers a rigorous outline of results concerned with management. It must be distinguished that the greatest results from six-sigma are accomplished and eradicating unproductive procedures, especially when the members of the team are new to the concerned tools and

The implementation process for laboratory quality standards must follow a stepwise attitude conferring to an implementation strategy drawn up by the national laboratory, in discussion with the National Laboratory Coordinating Committee. Certain countries can desire to prog-

and the outcome of the study illustrate that aspects associated with highest management support, inter-departmental correlation, budgets to improve the system and education on SPC are hindering manufacturing institutes via showing real-time process censoring. It is well documented that strong obligation by top management is very important for the fruitful

In forthcoming days, it is supposed that manufacturers will face a progressively undefined exterior atmosphere through an increasing consequence of alterations in worldwide competition, technological improvement and customer necessities. Flexibility, cost, time and quality are considered as amongst the very significant competitive weaponry for the success of manufacturing companies. Manufacturers face the task of refining the efficacy and lowering prices. Hence, QC techniques would be constantly used to support the organizations to develop, revolutionize their goods and progression in order to be acknowledged by customers. Because of the rising concern on maintainable place and source for the upcoming generation, manufacturers are expected to give more consideration to the environmental effect from their operations. So, application of environment preservation, atmosphere friendly industrial

All the employees incorporate the concepts for implementation of quality control in a laboratory or organization. That will give massive benefits for the improvement of quality control. Though the program of quality assurance is still independent to monitor the process of quality control. Implementation of QC may require a change during the setup of quality management system. The encouraging features for the companies to concern quality control arise inside from the organization, parental company and/or externally from the customer. The companies use widely SPC and acceptance sampling. DOE, Taguchi methods, Six Sigma, and capability studies are missing to be used by the industries, because of the lack of knowledge in the technique. They fulfill the criteria for the laboratories requirement such as health regulation, consistency in performance, laboratory functions and safety. Three aspects influence the quality control procedure in the firms, such as the capability to quantify product specification contentment; simplicity in the use of the technique; and capability to progress acute characteristic and yield difficulty. Hence QC technique will combine all these environmental concerns like its significant elements and ease and quickness for use would be the probability for QC techniques of the future.
