Acceptance sampling involves taking a random sample from a lot and inspecting it for defects. Based on the number of defects found, a decision is made whether to accept or reject the entire lot. This method is often used in manufacturing to ensure quality control and minimize the risk of defective products reaching the market. Statistical process control and control charts are also tools used in quality control, but they are focused on monitoring and improving the overall production process rather than making decisions about individual lots. Quality assurance is a broader term that encompasses all activities and processes aimed at ensuring that a product or service meets certain standards of quality.
