What is a quality control plan?

A quality control plan is a document that outlines the processes, procedures, and responsibilities for ensuring that a product, service, or system meets or exceeds the specified quality standards. It includes the steps for inspecting, testing, and verifying the quality of materials, processes, and the final product or service to ensure customer satisfaction and compliance with regulatory requirements. The quality control plan identifies the tools, techniques, and metrics for measuring and improving quality, as well as the corrective actions to be taken in case of quality issues or non-conformance. It serves as a roadmap for a company's quality management practices and helps to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and enhance customer satisfaction.
