This book discusses the basic concepts and elements required for implementing a quality control management system in a foundry. It will be especially helpful for foundry personnel with limited quality control experience to understand the language of QC systems. Throughout the text, references are made to provide information about the much wider field of Quality Assurance, Quality Control and Total Quality Management. The text also addresses smaller organizations where foundry personnel are developing and implementing a QC system or amending an existing system. Frequent references are made to ISO 9000 and the QC System described is essentially that of the ISO 9002 model. The author is an industry professional with many years of quality control experience in ferrous and nonferrous foundries.
