FM 55-411 CHAPTER 1 QUALITY CONTROL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Quality control (QC) activities complement those of production control to complete the over- all control aspect of maintenance management. The quality control supervisor (67W) coordi- nates the efforts of the QC team, while the nar- row-range technical inspectors (67N30, 67Y30, 68B30, etc.) do the actual inspecting. Quality control management is coordinated with all phases of production and workload control to en- sure that maximum production effectiveness is maintained. Properly designed quality control procedures can assure an acceptable level of quality and a decrease in inspection require- ments and management effort. However, in no event are quality standards sacrificed solely to increase production. Your duty as a technical in- spector is to ensure that the aircraft are as me- chanically safe as possible.
