In Akhwan Company, operations director Mr Tamad recently realized there had been an increase in products failing during the final quality checks. These checks were carried out in the QC (quality control) laboratory, which tested finished goods products before being released for sale.

Because the increase was gradual, it took a while for Mr Tamad to realize that the failure rate had risen. A thorough review of the main production operation revealed nothing that might explain the increased failure and so attention was focused on the QC laboratory.
