today. Quality control is a process in every manufacturing plant were the produced products has to undergo certain test to meet a set of standards before they are to be sold to the customers or clients. It is a very important process that decides the long-term establishment of the company. In early 1960s and 1970s the view of quality control were different, the engineering involved during those periods were comparatively less concentrated towards the quality of the products. Hence they used mass inspection
