What is the Difference between Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA)?
I am asking this question to many fresher candidates in the interview; to evaluate their awareness about the pharmaceutical industry and the work functions of the various departments
This answer has two levels,
Basic level answer
Advanced level answer
If the question is asked to a fresher candidate; the basic level answer is acceptable, but if the candidate is experienced; the advanced level answer is expected by the interviewer to evaluate the conceptual clarity about the departmental responsibilities.
Basic level answer
Quality Control function is related to analysis as per validated and approved Method and the result shall be compared with the pre-defined approved specification.
means, QC is related to the testing of the product
Quality assurance is a wide-ranging concept covering all matters that individually or collectively influence the quality of a product.
means, QA is ensuring the quality of the product at all the stages of the product life-cycle
Advanced level answer
There is 7 (seven) conceptual difference between QA and QC
