Abstract

Since the early 20's, statistical methods have been made use of as a covenant for the regulation of industrial processes. After a short historical summary, the paper presents three main themes in this respect : i-the notion of a variable controlled quality is a serious epistemological innovation ; ii-these methods are not incompatible with the division of labour, nor with standardization ; iii-they allowed fo the development of intermediate tools usable by unskilled workers. By now, statistical control stands as a fundamental concept in the objective definition of quality, even if it may be considered as too narrow for grasping all the facets of the notion.
