Accuracy when manufacturing ensures quality.
Quality checks can be made using visual inspection.
Quality control checks can be made using measurements which can be automated or manual.
Quality control is planned in advance of manufacture.

Quality control are checks that are done on products once made to ensure they are a high enough quality to be sold or used.

Quality control checks are done throughout the process to ensure quality is a constant.

Quality control - checks made on a product before, during and after its manufacture so it meets quality and safety standards
Accuracy - being correct and precise
Tolerance - the acceptable range of variation in a product's dimensions
