Quality Assurance in Ceramic Industries represents the proceedings of a conference held at the New York State College of Ceramics, Alfred University, June 4-7, 1978, as fifteenth in a continuing series rotated annually among Alfred University, North Carolina State University, Notre Dame University and the University of California, Berkeley. The first four chapters develop the rationale for major efforts toward an integrated quality assurance program in the ceramic plant, to effect economy in manufacture, to reduce process losses and to improve product reliability and overall profitability. Chapters 5 and 6 cover the use of traditional and advanced statistical methods. They are followed by three chapters on quality assurance in raw materials production and procurement. Chapters 9 through 20 treat specific examples of techniques, sys tems and philosophy of quality assurance in glass, whitewares, abrasives, refractories, electroceramics, structural clay pro ducts and special ceramics for nuclear applications, turbines and igniters. The three concluding chapters deal with the broadly applicable subjects of failure analysis, gaging and life time predic tion. It is a pleasure to acknowledge the generous help and encouragement of the Program Committee: Messrs. R. A. Alliegro, Norton Company; D. L. Guile and R. N. McNally, Corning Glass Works; H. W. Larisch, Coors Porcelain Company; R. H. Lester, Ohio Brass Company (now at the Lapp Insulator Division of Interpace Corporation); R. J. Ryder, Brockway Glass Company and E. A.

This book presents a collection of real cases from industrial practices that production system and quality managers implement to ensure a high quality as well as a low cost in products. This book is divided in sections that are focused on: · The quality and philosophies implemented to production systems; starting from the product design as well as from the supply system. · The principal statistical techniques applied to the quality assurance (statistical quality control, analysis of tests and failure, quality function deployment, accelerated life tests, among others), the process of gathering information, its validation, its reliability process, and techniques for data analysis. · The techniques applied to the integration of human resources in the process of quality assurance, such as managers and operators’ participation, training, and training processes. · Use of information and communications technologies, software, and programs implemented to guarantee the quality of the products in the production systems. ISO standards and policies that are used for quality management and monitoring.
Quality Technology Handbook, Fourth Edition offers a wide discussion on technology and its related subtopics. After giving some information on its background, content, and authors, the book then informs the readers about the quality problem check-list and enumerates the questions one has to ask to ensure that a problem will be solved. This part is followed by a discussion on non-destructive testing (NDT) and the several committees formed for it, among which are the British National Committee and the Harwell NDT Center. The book also includes information on two organizations that are closely related to the topic, the Institute of Quality Assurance (IQA) and The Welding Institute (TWI). A directory of international organizations related to quality assurance and non-destructive testing is provided in the latter part of the text. The book serves as valuable reference to undergraduates or postgraduates of courses that are related to science and technology.
The field of ceramics has applications in diverse fields including electronic engineering, electrical engineering, biochemical engineering, automobile engineering and defense sector. This textbook discusses ceramic raw materials, properties of ceramics, fabrication techniques of ceramics and testing of ceramics. It comprehensively discusses mechanical properties, thermal properties, optical properties, electrical properties and magnetic properties of ceramics. The text covers structural characteristics, properties and applications of advanced ceramic materials and examines their difference from the conventional ceramics. A separate chapter discusses testing methods of ceramics including testing of raw materials, testing of physical properties, testing of mechanical strength and testing of electrical properties in dept. This textbook begins by discussing ceramic raw materials, proceeds with conventional ceramics, continues with properties and fabrication techniques of ceramic materials, testing of ceramics and ends with covering advanced ceramics. This book features: Covers ceramics from traditional to advanced Discusses fabrication, characterization and applications of ceramics in detail Examines mechanical properties, thermal properties, optical properties, electrical properties and magnetic properties of ceramics in detail Covers structural characteristics, properties and applications of carbides, nitrides, oxides and borides Discusses processing techniques including mechanical separation and magnetic separation of ceramics It will help serve as ideal study material for senior undergraduate and graduate students in the field of chemical engineering, materials science and engineering, and ceramic technology.
In recent years there has been growing pressure for consistent product quality, and a need for companies to demonstrate sound quality management practices in order to meet 'Due Diligence' requirements of both legislation and the quality assurance practices of customers. It has become accepted that operating to the requirements of the international standard for quality management - BS EN ISO 900- goes a long way towards meeting these needs. The objective of this book is to explain the requirements of the standard, to offer advice about achieving those requirements and to indicate what the assessors will look for at assessment time. It is important that certification to the standard is sought to support achievement of company objectives and not the reverse, and of course the standard can apply to organizations and services, just as much as to companies. Thus the word' company' in the text should be treated accordingly. lllustrative material has been presented under the logo of a fictiti ous company 'Quality Food Services' - in this context QFS does not bear any relationship whatsoever to any identically or similarly named business that may exist. Readers will find it helpful to read the book with a copy of the standard to hand, and are strongly encouraged to read the complete text before taking any steps to prepare for certification to the standard.
Quality assurance (QA) has become an increasingly important topic, as environmental monitoring bodies realize that accuracy of measurements can depend very much on how the measurement is taken. This book will describe methods in light of all of the European, US, and international (ISO) guidelines for QA of water analysis. It is the third book in the Water Quality Measurement Series, it tackles the growing problem of developing an international understanding for measurement and data collection. The author gives a detailed overview of: * The purpose of water analysis * Quality systems and quality control * Sources of error including sample contamination * Method validation * Certified reference materials * Data Reporting * Inter-laboratory studies
