Quality Assurance Vs Quality Control

QA and QC are both important quality processes but have key differences. QA focuses on planning processes to prevent defects, while QC focuses on identifying defects through testing. Specifically, QA aims to ensure the right things are done, while QC ensures the results meet expectations. Both use statistical techniques, but QA uses SPC for process control while QC uses SPC for quality control.
