Synopsis

Master the art of quality control with proven methods that cut waste and boost consistency.

In The Control of Quality in Manufacturing, G. S. Radford lays out a practical approach to inspecting, measuring, and controlling quality across production. The book emphasizes how careful planning, independent scrutiny, and continuous oversight of processes lead to steady improvement in both product quality and efficiency. Real-world examples show how organizations built systematic inspection departments and integrated quality into daily operations.

This edition frames quality as a managerial responsibility and a driver of cost savings, not a collection of isolated tricks. It covers how to align inspection with planning, how to design measurement systems, and how to manage people and equipment for reliable results. The material is grounded in dimensional control but also addresses color, materials, and other important product qualities.

• Learn how inspection supports steady flow, accurate measurements, and durable standards.
• Explore the role of planning, standards, and central inspection in achieving uniform results.
• See practical guidance on building and running an effective inspection department.
• Discover case examples from wartime and industrial settings to illustrate fundamentals in action.

Ideal for readers who want a clear, actionable path to better quality, reduced waste, and dependable production outcomes.
