Sample Quality Control Plan Template

This quality control plan outlines procedures to ensure ceramic products are properly burned and glazed. Key steps include testing product maturity through absorption tests and stability through freeze-thaw and dishwasher tests. Quality inspectors Tim Church and James Campbell monitor different phases to identify issues and reduce non-conformity by 90% by January 2024. Standards from ASTM and ISO are followed.

Executive Summary

This quality control plan is created to provide specific guidelines for quality control personnel in
establishing the standard operating procedures of the company in manufacturing and
producing ceramic products.
 

Objectives

The objectives of this plan are as follows:


 
1. Ensure ceramics are fairly burned and glazed appropriately
2. Reduce non-conformity of the products by 90% by January 4, 2024
 

Strategy

This plan will follow the basic quality control management procedures set by the company by
testing the finished products' absorption level, stability, resistance, and suitability in the
company studio. The results of the quality inspection will be then be evaluated based on the
total quality management (TQM) tools by Heizer & Render (2009) and the Ishikawa diagram to
identify the causes and effects of non-conformity.

 
The Process

PHASE PURPOSE OUTPUT


To test that the products are Well-vitrified clay body under
Maturity Test Phase
well glazed and burned different temperature levels
To test resistance and Safe and chemically stable
Stability Test Phase
suitability of the products ceramic products

Quality Standards

The standards applicable to the process are as follows:


 
1. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) C1161 - 02 Test for the Flexural
Strength of Ceramics
2. The ASTM C1285 - 02 Test methods to evaluate the chemical durability of the products
3. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 10545-1:1995 and ISO 15732:2003

Control Range

PHASE MEASUREMENT ACCEPTABLE RANGE


0 -1% (porcelain), 2-3% (stonewares), and 8-
Maturity Test Phase percent
12% (earthenwares) in terms of absorption
Less than 0.78 from the wet weight sample
Stability Test Phase weight
over boiled weight sample ratio
