Objective: To understand and differentiate between two quality assurance planning tools: Failure Testing and Statistical Process Control $($SPC$).$

Instructions:

Description of Failure Testing $(25\%)$:

Explain the concept of Failure Testing in quality assurance planning.

Describe how Failure Testing is used to identify potential failures or defects in a product or process.

Discuss the key steps involved in conducting Failure Testing.

Example of Failure Testing $(25\%)$:

Provide a specific example where Failure Testing could be applied.

Describe the scenario, including the product or process being tested, the testing methodology, and the expected outcomes.

Explain how the results of Failure Testing can be used to improve quality assurance practices.

Description of Statistical Process Control $($SPC$)(25\%)$:

Define Statistical Process Control $($SPC$)$ and its significance in quality assurance planning.

Explain how SPC helps monitor and control processes to ensure consistent quality.

Discuss the main components or tools used in SPC$,$ such as control charts and process capability analysis.

Example of Statistical Process Control $($SPC$)(25\%)$:

Provide a specific example where Statistical Process Control $($SPC$)$ could be applied.

Describe the process being monitored, the relevant metrics or variables being measured, and the use of control charts or other SPC tools.

Explain how SPC helps identify deviations from the desired quality standards and facilitates corrective actions.
