Keywords:
Compliance Management System, Regulatory Adherence, Quality Assurance, Risk Mitigation, Operational ExcellenceAbstract
In the rapidly evolving landscape of industrial processes, this comprehensive review article delves into the intricate dynamics of Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA) within the context of flow processes. Recognizing the paramount importance of seamless and efficient operations, the paper navigates through the multifaceted strategies employed to uphold and elevate product or service quality standards. Commencing with an overview of the evolving industrial milieu, this review articulates the fundamental principles of QC and explores innovative methodologies such as statistical process control, Six Sigma, and Total Quality Management. The proactive role of QA in averting defects and deviations is scrutinized, with a focus on risk management, documentation standards, and the establishment of robust QA frameworks.
Delving deeper, the article investigates the harmonious integration of QC and QA into various flow processes, shedding light on best practices and challenges faced by industries seeking alignment with operational workflows. Additionally, the impact of emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, data analytics, and the Internet of Things, on augmenting QC and QA processes is examined in detail, showcasing their contributions to real-time monitoring, predictive analysis, and continuous improvement.
