Further, the quality approaches and techniques adopted in Hong Kong manufacturing to improve quality are looked into. The results of this study reveal that the present view on quality is to focus on customers, to improve the operational processes and to increase the total involvement among the staff in the company. In addition, it is found that the difference in working experience and types of industry would affect the perspective of quality as an individual and as a company to a certain extent. Moreover, it is interesting to find that SPC and QCC are widely used in manufacturing for controlling operational processes. TQM and ISO quality system are often adopted in large electronics companies. However, zero defect program is not common in the three industries while benchmarking emerged as a useful technique.展开更多

The natural medicinal Flos Carthami was discussed as a methodological example and the specific time/dose-dependent cell response profiles （TCRPs） were produced by the real-time cell electronic analysis technology. The similarity and bioactivity were obtained by analyzing all TCRPs. Meanwhile, an HPLC method according to the Chinese Pharmacopeia （edition 2010） was used to evaluate the quality of Flos Carthami. The correlation was obtained by comparing the results produced by the two different approaches. By analyzing the data, five different samples ofFlos Carthami can produce remarkably similar TCRPs. The quality ofFlos Carthami was evaluated by both the HPLC and the TCRPs analysis-based approaches and similar results were obtained. The results suggest that the same natural medicine from different locations could produce similar TCRPs. By analyzing the TCRPs, the bioactivity and quality evaluation of natural medicines can be obtained. This technology is a physiologically relevant approach for the quality evaluation of natural medicines. The ultimate aim of our study is to establish a new standard for quality evaluation.展开更多
