  THE STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL – EUROPEAN ALTERNATIVE OF QUALITY

The implementation of the statistical methods for quality control of the technological processes is an important approach that ensures a substantial increase in the quality of the production. The statistical methods for quality control are wide spread practice in the developed countries. On the contrary they are almost not implemented in the Bulgarian economy and as a result achieving high quality by the European standards is only a good intention. The survey performed in about 300 enterprises from the machinery construction industry in Bulgaria have shown that the statistical methods are unknown to the workers in that branch of industry and that they have not been implementing such methods in the practice despite their obvious advantages. Thus it is necessary for the Ministry of Economy and Energy to undertake practical steps on the implementation of statistical methods for quality control in the machinery construction enterprises by developing a “Strategy” in which to define the priorities of the Government, the measures and the financial resources that will ensure the training of specialists and the implementation of modern systems for quality management.

In the modern highly competitive environment the implementation of innovative teaching and assessment methods has become one of the key competitive advantages of the educational institutions. This fact necessitates a research on the compatibility of web-based and conventional assessment methods and forms. The paper summarizes the results of a research which aimed to investigate the degree of compatibility of the conventional (“paper-based”) and web-based (“digital”) didactic tests and to formulate recommendations for the practical implementation of the innovative testing formats.
