Question

Describe the concept of acceptance sampling in quality management

Answer 1

Acceptance sampling in quality management was developed to protect the customer from getting defective goods and to insist the producer to have a check at the production stage itself.  The producer should have a quality control department.  This department will have the specifics as to how many percentage of defects is an acceptable one and the production department has to strictly adhere to it.

Many small scale industries were started for this purpose.  For example, if a car manufacturing company, say Hyundai needs nuts and bolts of the description given, it will not accept if the said size is not maintained and the whole goods will get rejected.  This helps the customer to get quality goods.
