Quality
Having quality built into the design and production process is expensive. However it is fundamental in the creation of a product that sells well and is highly respected in the market. Which tools below would you expect to be used during measurement checks?
Callipers
CMM
Go No-Go Gauge
Dye Penetrant
Quality
Which description best explains the process of quality control?
It is a reactive process and is end product or process orientated. It focuses on the part being manufactured and can be carried out at the end of the task or during manufacture to find a defect. This process often relies on carrying out physical checks using measurement, comparative and functionality techniques.
This process is a preventative or proactive approach that aims to stop defects from happening in the first place rather than finding them once they have.

This clip shows a CMM machine taking readings from a gear. What does CMM stand for?
Computer Measure Mode
Co-ordinate Mapping Machine
Co-ordinate Measuring Machine
Computer Moving Measurements
Quality
This image shows a weld that has been inspected using X-Ray inspection. The actual weld is the white cloudy area, the deep black is the metal either side of the weld. This weld would fail as there are little deposits (inclusions) that have been trapped inside the solidified weld.
What are the advantages of using X-Ray inspection?
Completely safe with no hazards.
Able to identify hidden defects.
Able to locate exact location of defects.
Avoids damaging the product during inspection.
Quality
This clip shows a conveyor line for tomatoes. The tomatoes go through a MANUAL quality control process, where operators look for and remove unacceptable produce. What would you suggest to speed up and improve this process?
Use X-Ray inspection
Go-No-GO gauge
Automatic inspection and rejection
Digital Callipers
Quality
A company is introducing a product and they need to develop a new production line for the products manufacture. What would you suggest the quality assurance engineers do in order to ensure the occurrence probability of defects is reduced?
Provide training for staff on any new production machinery.
Consider the production processes and techniques being used.
Test and check the products.
Plan the level, types and frequency of testing and inspection to be used.
Quality
Quality in production can help to (a) intercept defects. By ensuring the production process is planned and well thought out including checking and inspecting what is being produced there should be a reduction in (b) and (c) . Quality will allow for increased (d) when mass producing and conformity to industry (e) will be more likely.
