BEEFING UP QC.

Abstract

The data collection process for quality control (QC) is streamlined by a personal computer (PC). A basic computer program is used on the PC to facilitate the downloading of collected data into spreadsheets. By using the device, the need to write the QC readings on paper to be fed later into the PC was eliminated. Because the Datacomputer is programmable, a program is created that, after readings are keyed in, will provide an average of the 10 readings entered, as well as tell the operator whether the readings are within specification ranges.
