Statistical Quality Control (SQC) is a broad term defining procedures that can be employed during production to insure that parts are produced having specified characteristics and performance. In developing complex systems of systems whose performance cannot be tested as entities, methods exist to identify components and subsystems whose failures, degradations, and variations most severely erect system level performance. Once identified, two methods may be employed to reduce or eliminate the system effects caused by such critical components - (1) design change employing such techniques as redundancy, proliferation, and spatial separation, and (2) component quality improvement. This paper summarizes the SQC methods and procedures that can be employed in mass producing electronic parts - ICs, SRAMs, buffers, capacitors, connectors - to reduce variability and insure performance to specified radiation, current, voltage, temperature, shock, and vibration levels. Producing such quality parts reduces uncertainties in performance and will aid materially in validating the survivability of components, subsystems, and systems to specified threats.
