Statistics with fuzzy data in statistical quality control

Statistical quality control (SQC) is an important field where both theory of probability and theory of fuzzy sets may be used. In the paper we give a short overview of basic problems of SQC that have been solved using both these theories simultaneously. Some new results on the applications of fuzzy sets in SQC are presented in details. We also present problems which are still open, and whose solution should definitely increase the applicability of fuzzy sets in quality control.
