Contrôle qualitévignette|Contrôle qualité du nylon, 1954, Malmö. Photographie conservée au musée nordique. Le contrôle qualité est un aspect de la gestion de la qualité. Le contrôle est une opération destinée à déterminer, avec des moyens appropriés, si le produit (y compris, services, documents, code source) contrôlé est conforme ou non à ses spécifications ou exigences préétablies et incluant une décision d'acceptation, de rejet ou de retouche. L'ancienne norme ISO 8402 (maintenant annulée) en donnait la définition suivante : (ISO8402:1994, § 2.
Admittance parametersAdmittance parameters or Y-parameters (the elements of an admittance matrix or Y-matrix) are properties used in many areas of electrical engineering, such as power, electronics, and telecommunications. These parameters are used to describe the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks. They are also used to describe the small-signal (linearized) response of non-linear networks. Y parameters are also known as short circuited admittance parameters.
Quality (business)In business, engineering, and manufacturing, quality – or high quality – has a pragmatic interpretation as the non-inferiority or superiority of something (goods or services); it is also defined as being suitable for the intended purpose (fitness for purpose) while satisfying customer expectations. Quality is a perceptual, conditional, and somewhat subjective attribute and may be understood differently by different people. Consumers may focus on the specification quality of a product/service, or how it compares to competitors in the marketplace.
Management de la qualitévignette|La roue de Deming illustre le processus d'amélioration continue, l'un des principes fondamentaux du management de la qualité. Le management de la qualité, ou gestion de la qualité, est une discipline du management regroupant l'ensemble des concepts et méthodes visant à satisfaire les clients d'un organisme (en général les entreprises, associations, organismes publics) et à fournir des produits et services correspondant à leurs attentes.
Impedance parametersImpedance parameters or Z-parameters (the elements of an impedance matrix or Z-matrix) are properties used in electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and communication systems engineering to describe the electrical behavior of linear electrical networks. They are also used to describe the small-signal (linearized) response of non-linear networks. They are members of a family of similar parameters used in electronic engineering, other examples being: S-parameters, Y-parameters, H-parameters, T-parameters or ABCD-parameters.
