The attention to statistical methods of quality control is driven by their reliability in case of the small sample volumes in comparison with continuous control. The article shows the reasons of delaying of introduction of statistical methods in the enterprises of technical service of agroindustrial complex. The value of statistical quality control of test and measurement processes is pointed out. It is confirmed by the standardized requirements to the quality management and by the assessment of impact of this control on failures of products in operation. The use of statistical control allows to stabilize in more short timeframes the production on high-quality level. The analysis of standards and technic specifications for machinery production shows that the acceptance rules for machinery generally indicate the sample volume equal to 2% of batch of machines. This is only 1 machine of daily batch of 50 machines. At that, the risk of the fact that a consumer will receive defective products is 26%. The control of a single machine in the sample shows the imperfection of acceptance rules. Despite the availability of regulations on statistical quality control, it has not become widely used in practice in the field of domestic agricultural and automotive engineering and technical services. It is necessary to determine the problems of statistical quality control of test and measurement processes and the ways of its implementation; to establish the reasons for the lack of attention to statistical quality control. It is required to substantiate the ways for its widespread use in the technical service and production. As research techniques, it is proposed to apply the information retrieval, statistical methods of data collection, analogy methods and morphological analysis.
