ABSTRACT
It is indeed quite interesting to note that it is just of recent that manufacturers resolved an aspect of quality control concerning the outcome of a manufactured machine part that is mainly dependent not only on the manufacturing surface nish but also on the manufacturing process conditions and their methods. Researchers have shown that many of the surface quality parameters of machine parts are focused not only on the surface nish operations of a manufacturing process but also on the initial and nal operations for sustainable system reliability. The surface quality parameters of a part that are formed early in the process need to be sustained and transferred to the nal surface nish and equipment operation, while the developing quality parameters are being transferred from one process to another in such a way that the undesired negative traits are eliminated while the positive characteristics are sustained to achieve maximum reliability. The transference and sustenance of the positive qualities of a component and the elimination of the defects are possible with the technological inheritance (TI) technique.
