ABSTRACT
The major aim that transcends everything else for a manufacturing industry is to create products of high quality. In prior times, the horse sense and skill of experienced workers were determinant factors in product quality. In today's diverse processes which rely on the division of labor, quality is secured through standard operations, which are generally determined under the prevailing working conditions. Inspection done by inspectors outside the regular process does not produce added value. Therefore, those who are actually engaged in manufacturing must be the ones responsible for full quality assurance. They must not allow defectives to be attached to their jigs, and they must always apply gauges to inspect. The goal that an inspector must set for himself is not to throw away defectives, but to eliminate totally their production. This must be established as the criterion for judging his performance.
