The second approach - creation of systems for non-destructive testing quality assurance in compliance with ISO standards 9000 series - considers the quality system as an assembly of organisational strueture, procedures, processes and resources necessary for overall quality management at the laboratory. This approach requires methodieal development. 

Documented procedures are often necessary to ensure consistency and correctness for any type of transaction. This section refers to the overall system of communicating, updating, and approving procedures. The procedures pertinent to the implementation of the quality assurance/improvement process should be compiled in a quality manual, the quality manual should be communicated throughout the organization.

Most QI programs build upon an established quality assurance (QA) process. Quality assurance can be defined as a formal and systematic process in which problems in delivering health care are identified, solutions to the problems are developed and implemented, and follow-up monitoring then is carried out [30]. QA begins with problem identification. After possible sources of the problem are determined, solutions are developed and implemented. Then, the results of the intervention or solution are evaluated to determine whether or not the problem has been resolved. By incorporating a goal of continual improvement, a QA process can contribute to quality improvement activities.

In recent years the term qualimetrics has been coined to refer to the use of chemometrics for the purposes of quality control (Massart et al. 1997). ft relates particularly to the use of multivariate analysis of process control measurements. Other texts on quality assurance in chemical laboratories include the latest edition of Garfield s book published by AOAC International (Garfield et al. 2000), material published through the Valid Analytical Measurement program by the LGC (Prichard 1995), and books from the Royal Society of Chemistry (Parkany 1993,1995 Sargent and MacKay 1995). Wenclawiak et al. (2004) have edited a series of Microsoft PowerPoint presentations on aspects of quality assurance. 

Anyone involved in writing analytical procedures and methods for the first time generally underestimates the difficulty of the task until faced with the results of an unsuccessful transfer process. Why is it then that we have a dearth of guidelines for such a task The major texts on analytical chemistry and analytical science do not contain such advice. Even recent books on the validation of analytical methods, The Approved Text to the FECS Curriculum of Analytical Chemistry and Quality Assurance in Analytical Chemistry, excellent though they are in other areas, make cursory reference, if any, to the requirements for good detailed written procedures. 

Quality assurance in production is the result of careful planning. In their discussion on quality in manufacturing, Ekvall and Juran [15] refer to setup dominance and machine dominance. The former approach seeks to create a highly reproducible process, which would include a means of self-control. The latter is concerned with the variability that is caused by the equipment s performance. Many older production processes appeared to rely on the machine-dominance strategy because they relied on in-process checks and adjustments as needed. Process validation, however, leans toward setup dominance because this activity seeks to document the fact that the variable process parameters are under control, which means that the in-process test results will be within their specification limits. 

With the introduction of quality assurance in the diagnostic laboratory 56 years ago [6], a kind of educational and benchmarking process started forcing laboratories, national and international organizations, and the IVD industry to improve the methods applied in clinical laboratories. Comparison of the measurements of enzyme activity demonstrate that the analytical performance of the methods applied 30 years ago were far beyond the biological variation and most probably insufficient for medical needs. Interlaboratory comparisons show that with the new routine methods based on recommendations of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) (Table 5) comparable results can be obtained irrespective of time and space and thus small individual variations can now be detected. Similar improvements in the analytical process in clinical laboratories can be reported generally for homogenous measurands. 

Our goal is to gradually replace all coal and fossil fuel power plants with renewable energy ones, but while they exist (and probably will for most of this century), it is very important to reduce the damage they cause by optimizing their operation. In the United States, there are about 1000 coal preparation plants and coal-fired power plants. One key consideration in operating coalburning facilities is the control of C02 and sulfur dioxide (S02) emissions to the atmosphere. The characteristics of coal are monitored for environmental protection, quality assurance, and process control purposes. 

Nurses are one of the largest groups in the frontline within the humanitarian community especially in the health care arena. They, as highly skilled professionals, have a vast contribution to make in relation to quality assurance in international disaster response especially with respect to knowledgeable, effective, efficient use of resources and as educators and promoters of health. Evaluation of the effectiveness and quality of any contribution is important for overall quality assurance and improvement in aid relief worldwide. Continuous quality improvement and quality assurance are key to ensuring accountability for efficient and effective delivery of humanitarian aid. Nurses are ideally placed to influence and monitor these two processes. 

It is also important to include Quality Assurance in the process leading up to the decision to outsource, the assessment and selection of the service provider, the development of quality-related aspects of the contract, and the implementation and monitoring of the agreement. This arrangement should not be executed within an IS/IT only scope. 

Quality Assurance In the processing of canola oil to edible oil products, much the same quality control procedures are applied as with other oils. A few aspects, such as for example the presence of chlorophyll derivatives in crude oil and their removal in processing, are somewhat unique. AOCS (76) or other standard methods, such as lUPAC, ISO, or DGF are commonly used. 

We can recognize three distinct but interdependent, effective standards 1) USP-NF standards, 2) current good manufacturing practices, and 3) in-house quality assurance or process validation protocols. The three programs are different but have the same objective drug product quality. The official standards are developed to be meaningful in this multiple context. In recent years, a similar array has occurred in most developed nations, and this is rightfully seen as a measure of success.

International Association of Food and Engineering (1997-2000). Dr. Welti-Chanes is the author of more than 140 scientific publications in refereed journals and books and more than 150 presentations in international meetings. He is the author or coeditor of several books on food preservation and food engineering, a member of the editorial boards of different journals and book series, and an evaluator of research projects in Latin America and the United States. He is an advisor for different food enterprises in areas such as processing, quality assurance, and processes optimization. Also, he has advised many different universities in Mexico and Latin America in strategic planning of educational processes. 

The guidelines and regulations cited so far have focused on process safety. However, certification and award programs such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Standard 9002, "Quality Systems— Model for Quality Assurance in Production and Installation," place heavy emphasis on quality management. Written procedures and document control are important factors for ensuring and maintaining quality, reliability, and consistency.
