Quality control is paramount in product manufacturing as it ensures consistent production to meet customer expectations, regulatory requirements and maintain a company's reputation and profitability. Distance measures within fuzzy sets serve as powerful tools for quality control, allowing for data comparison and identification of potential defects or outliers within a system. This study aims to develop a hybrid concept by combining a Cubic Intuitionistic Fuzzy Set (CIFS) with Soft Set (SS) and extending it to Cubic Intuitionistic Fuzzy Hypersoft Set (CIFHSS). CIFHSS enables handling multiple distinct attributes at the sub-attribute level within a cubic set environment. The concept includes operations like internal, partial internal, external, complement, direct sum, and product. Additionally, six distance metrics are defined within CIFHSS and applied to establish a quality control management system for industrial applications. The versatility of CIFHSS in quality control management stems from its ability to capture and model uncertainty, vagueness, and imprecision in data. This makes it an effective tool for decision-making, risk analysis, and process optimization across a wide range of industrial applications.
