The statistical quality control paradigm is similar to the mass production and sorting paradigm with the difference that more attention is given to production processes. Statistical process control and lot-by-lot sampling inspection are used. The result is far less scrap and rework than in the mass production and sorting paradigm. Product performance and timeliness are similar to that obtained with the mass production and sorting paradigm. Using upstream sampling and statistical process control to limit losses due to poor quality will usually reduce production costs. Since process knowledge is gained, process improvements usually result. The statistical quality control paradigm is depicted in Figure 1.4(c).
