Quality control has played an important role in the manufacture of goods and the creation of monuments since antiquity. From the development of Heron¿s first robot and the Antikythera mechanism to today¿s Internet of Things (IoT), Industry 4.0, and artificial intelligence, quality control has undeniably come a long way. This book examines quality control in several different scenarios and locations. Chapters discuss quality control of Nigeriäs road network, Ethiopiäs leather industry, Africäs food industry, and Hong Kong¿s construction sector, among other scenarios. The book also discusses quality control of intrusion detection systems, artificial intelligence, complementary metal oxide semiconductors, and more.

Quality management systems form an integral part of modern corporations. Acknowledging current socio-economic and environmental challenges, quality standards ought to be dynamic and flexible so as to cater for different markets and requirements. This book portrays a collection of international papers addressing current research and practice within the areas of engineering and technology, health and education. Amidst striving for "zero defects", "cost-effectiveness" and "tight financial budgets", quality management systems ought to embrace the creator of them all: humans; as the ancient Greek Sophist Protagoras said, "Of all money, Man is the measure" «¿¿¿t¿¿ ¿¿¿µ¿t¿¿ ¿¿t¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿p¿¿» (Plato, Theaetetus 166d).
