I believe that quality assurance is when the owner of a project that is being built performs checks to ensure say the correct type of wood is being used to build a house or whatever. Quality control is when the contractor is the one double checking to make sure the wood that was delivered is the one that he/she ordered.

Quality control: a plan with the goal of ensuring that the product/service made and/or rendered, is at the highest ethical and profit making standards the company has in mind. Quality assurance: the steps taken to assure that quality control happens as above. Sometimes this is given in the form of a gurantee to the consumer. Total quality manangement: see above; insert slot A into slot B! Somebody gets this title and a big salary to be responsible for when these things do/don't happen! Companies use these measures for one reason only: TO MAKE A PROFIT! I think I explained this well enough to be the president of total quality management. Are you hiring?

Quality Assurance is the activity of providing evidence needed to establish confidence among all concerned, that the quality-related activities are being performed effectively.
In engineering and manufacturing, quality control and quality engineering are involved in developing systems to ensure products or services are designed and produced to meet or exceed customer requirements.
In brief, Quality Assurance is more a matter of policies and procedures, whereas Quailty Control is geared more toward the mechanics of production, and testing samples to ensure they meet specifications.

QUALITY ASSURANCE is similar to warranty or guarantee given by a company to its consumers. Here the quality of the purchased product is assured and immediate replacements are made if the products fails in quality within the particular period.
QUALITY CONTROL is a policy or measure that is applied to the product while the product is manufactured or produces. By using this measure we can able to control the failure of products and commodities.

No difference. The terms are interchangable.
