Entwicklung der ZfP zur Wirtschaftlichkeit - Qualitätsbeherrschung statt Qualitätskontrolle

Industrial production management is changed under the aspects of systems engineering into organization structures following interdisciplinary and integral strategies. This change causes the integration of ndt into quality assurance as a tool for quality control. Thi sintegration is enhanced by the need to and the significance of a documented qualtiy and by the today's available capabilities of inspection and information technologies. Integrated into the quality policy of enterprises ndt has to be identified as a strategical tool to master, i.e., to control the quality and therefor to enhance the economical benefits. In the strategy to design the intrinsic reliability of products all influencing quality elements were observed, starting with the product planing and ending with thr recycling. The interaction between quality, costs and productivity is strongly observed in order to design and to target quality and productivity and lowering the costs.
