Quality - Inspection System and Operations Industrial Engineering


Process Industrial Engineering


Inspection operations in the part production (final assembly) processes are studied and redesigned to improve productivity or reduce costs under the focus of industrial engineering: Process Industrial Engineering

To improve operations, industrial engineers have to develop production science for basic inspection processes used. Examples of basic inspection processes: using vernier calipers, micrometer, slip gauge, go - no-go gauge etc. Inspection stations with these various instruments in fixed designated positions can be set up to reduce motion distances and time.

Quality - Inspection System Industrial Engineering 


Quality system industrial engineering is the study of resource use in various quality, inspection engineering and management activities with a view to increasing the efficiency or eliminating the waste wherever possible. While the quality activities are carried out to ensure that product designs and process designs produce products and services that meet the needs of the targeted customers and delight them by giving more, there is possibility of excessive use of organization's resources. Industrial engineering is concerned with the management of resource use and in this function, the quality system design is carefully investigated by the industrial engineering to identify and remove waste. Industrial engineering succeeded in reducing the cost of many processes designed in the first iteration by the managers up to 50% and hence it is a very important activity in systems design or systems engineering.

Famous example of industrial engineering, is Henry Ford's production system redesign, that reduced the price of the automobile by half. Frederick Taylor, the founder of IE discipline has improved the productivity of some of the inspection processes.

System Industrial Engineering - System Human Effort Engineering - System Efficiency Engineering


Quality related activities are undertaken by marketing professions, product design professionals, process design professions, production persons, inspection persons in the case of products or services marketing by an organization. Apart from the various activities done by the company also need to have quality and hence all the persons in the organization are connected to quality. Statisticians contributed to quality field. Statistical quality control helped in increasing the efficiency of quality system by reducing inspection effort. Industrial engineers promoted SQC as a part of quality system industrial engineering.

To do industrial engineering of inspection methods to reduce the cost of inspection operation or cost, a redesign of the operation or process has to be done. To redesign the engineering elements, industrial engineers have to know the engineering alternatives in  terms different inspection methods, equipment and tools like gauges etc.

In the evolving Industry 4.0 environment, inspection systems industrial engineering has to follow the applied industrial steps framework created by Narayana Rao (2018).

The first IE analysis of any new technology is engineering economic analysis. The investment outlay, operating cost and operating revenues are to be estimated for the new technology by industrial engineers.  Based on the estimates of these cash flows, return on investment can be calculated. If ROI is positive, industrial engineers can immediately inform management as well as their colleagues about the opportunity to adopt the new technology as early as possible to derive the benefit (ROI) from it.


Smart Inspection - Inspection Developments in Industry 4.0 Engineering/Production Environment



Smart Inspection prevents Downtime
Inspection across a production line also plays a key role in effective quality control. Our systems combine sensors like vision systems with smart data to ensure any issues have minimal impact on the line.

Inspection in the age of smart manufacturing
Written by: Tom Austin-Morgan | Published: 05 November 2018
Metrology is often an overlooked process in manufacturing, when it actually plays an essential role. In particular, inspection helps ensure that component parts fit together accurately and ensures that final products work and operate safely. Even for relatively simple manufactured products, there is more to inspection than meets the eye.
