(end-of-line inspection)
Theuseof quality inspection toolsat theend-of-theproduction
line for quality control is often seen by many manufacturers as an
obstacleor achallenge.However, at thisfinal destination, it iswhere
you can step up to the next level rapidly if you truly understand the
important elements.

ElementsYouNeed toUnderstandbeforeUsing theTools
1.Detection
2.Rejection
3.Maintenance
4.Data Integrity
Nowadays,manymanufacturershave recognised the importance
ofqualitycontrolandhavequality inspection tools toassessproducts
in order to meet with requirements. However, without the clear
understanding of the first 3 elements, it could cause problems or
losses of great costs, for example;
1.Detection:
Detect errors affectingproduction line andquality
• Undetectedcontaminantscouldgreatlycosts themanufacturer’s
reputationand large sumof money for product recall.
• False detection that identify good, uncontaminated, correctly
weightedproductasbadproductcould result in the lossofopportunity
cost, as the profitable product is returned to the production line or
being thrown away.
• This first element is very important as it is the initial step to
understand thebasic knowledgeof themachineand test its validity.
It will also be a very important information to keep in mind when
choosing the right tool. The technology these days improves better
detection, but the actual performancemust be physically tested.
2.Rejection:
If the selected tool has a great detection function,
but lacks the ability to remove imperfect product off the production
line, that can still bring about risks and high costs.
• If the rejectionofmalformedproduct isnotvalid,andgrotesque
products are released to the consumers, brand’s image could be
damaged, andbusiness opportunities arediminished.
More intensemarketcompetition, tightening regulations,andvarieties
of demands from the customers are challenging us to continually
developourselves to stay in business profitably and sustainably.
• In order to reject bad quality product, you need to study several
elements to comprehend the process thoroughly.

3.Maintenance:
Once we understood and selected correct tool,
maintaining itsperformancewillmake itmore reliableanddecreasemany
opportunities for loss.

4.Data Integrity:
Managing quality inspection system with the
mentioned3elementscouldsustain thestabilityof thesystem, but none
of the gaineddata is analysed for productivity and quality improvement.
Thus, inorder to improve theperformanceof theproduction linesteadily
andsustainably,youshouldconsiderconnectingvariousquality inspection
tools like checkweigher,metal detector, x-ray, and vision inspection toa
real time data recorder, as well as recording system verification and
settings,andsettingupemailnotification forerrorsandpossibleproblems.
Selecting quality inspection system is very substantial. Therefore, it
isveryessential tograspall the informationcomprehensivelyand talk to
the tool manufacturer to gain complete and correct information before
installing and employing the tool. Poor selection and erroneous
maintenance program could cause long term problems that are difficult
to solve.
