QC
QC stands for Quality Control, which is the process of checking products to make sure they meet specific standards and requirements before they are delivered to customers. It involves inspecting and testing products to identify and fix defects.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Quality Control (QC) is a systematic process within manufacturing and Industry 5.0 for ensuring products or services conform to specified quality standards through inspection, testing, and defect identification, often leveraging real-time data and automation.
BACKGROUND
Quebec is Canada's largest province by area. Located in Central Canada, it is the only Francophone-majority province in the country, being home to Québécois French. It shares borders with the provinces of Ontario to the west, Newfoundland and Labrador to the northeast, New Brunswick to the southeast and a coastal border with the territory of Nunavut. In the south, it shares a border with the United States. Quebec has a population of around eight million, making it Canada's second-most populous province behind Ontario.
