• **Quality Control (QC) Principles**: Customer focus, defect prevention, continuous improvement, and employee involvement.
• **Quality Management System (QMS)**: A framework for planning, implementing, and documenting quality control processes.
• **Quality Control Tools**: Statistical process control (SPC), control charts, and acceptance sampling.
**Module 2: Principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)**
• **Good Laboratory Practice (GLP)**: A set of guidelines for ensuring the quality and integrity of data generated in a laboratory setting.
• **Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Regulations**: ISO 17025, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), and European Union (EU) directives.
• **Good Documentation Practices**: Accurate and complete records are essential for demonstrating compliance.
• **Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) Training**: Ensuring personnel are qualified and trained in GLP procedures.
**Module 3: Statistical Process Control (SPC)**
• **What is SPC?**: A statistical method for monitoring and controlling process variability.
• **Types of SPC Charts**: X-bar and R charts, control charts, and histograms.
• **SPC Applications**: Identifying trends, detecting shifts, and ensuring process stability.
• **SPC Advantages**: Reduces variation, improves product quality, and minimizes waste.
**Module 4: Control Charts**
• **What are control charts?**: Charts used to monitor and control process variability.
• **Types of Control Charts**: X-bar and R charts, control charts, and histograms.
• **Control Chart Applications**: Identifying trends, detecting shifts, and ensuring process stability.
• **Control Charts Advantages**: Helps identify and address process deviations.
**Module 5: Acceptance Sampling**
• **What is acceptance sampling?**: A statistical method for determining the number of units to be inspected to ensure product quality meets specifications.
• **Acceptance Sampling Formula**: p(x) = (n - 1)p^2 / n, where n is the sample size and p is the proportion of defects in the population.
• **Acceptance Sampling Advantages**: Reduces sampling costs, ensures product quality, and minimizes waste.
• **Acceptance Sampling Disadvantages**: May not be suitable for all products or processes.
**Module 6: Implementation and Documentation of Quality Control Programs**
• **Implementing a Quality Control Program**: Establishing roles and responsibilities, defining quality control procedures, and implementing a quality control plan.
• **Documentation**: Maintaining accurate and complete records of quality control activities, including inspection results, deviations, and corrective actions.
• **Quality Control Audits**: Periodic assessments to ensure compliance with quality control standards and regulations.
• **Continuous Improvement**: Regularly reviewing and improving quality control processes to ensure ongoing product quality.
