In test engineering, especially in industrial and laboratory environments, ensuring that the results obtained are reliable, traceable, and technically valid is essential. It is in this context that the principles of the ISO/IEC 17000 series and, more directly, the ISO/IEC 17025 standard, an international reference for testing and calibration laboratories,
Production Engineering is the area responsible for planning, designing, implementing, controlling, and optimizing production systems — combining human, technological, and material resources to achieve efficiency, quality, and competitiveness. It operates directly at the interface between product development, testing, processes, logistics, maintenance, and quality management, being essential in Industry 4.0 and
PDCA is a continuous improvement methodology used to plan, execute, check, and act on processes, aiming to eliminate failures, standardize best practices, and increase efficiency. It is widely used in quality management, industrial processes, testing laboratories, and production engineering. What does PDCA mean?

Six Sigma is a quality management methodology focused on reducing defects, variability, and waste in industrial and organizational processes. Its goal is to achieve an extremely high level of performance, where processes generate a maximum of 3.4 defects per million opportunities (DPMO). Origin and Fundamentals Created at Motorola in the
