Article Abstract:
Frymaster Corp, the largest manufacturer of commercial deep fat fryers, satisfy customer requirements by relying on quality assurance (QA) to produce high-quality products. QA is, thus, responsible for determining the needs of the customer and for coordinating the entire quality process. Four factors are involved in Frymaster's quality assurance audit program, namely, quality control inspection, in-process inspection, quality control testing and quality assurance auditing. Frymaster's experience clearly demonstrates that only by pairing quality assurance and quality control can a firm ensure quality products.
