Objective quality inspection allows manufacturers and suppliers to evaluate products or components using a standardized criteria and measurements. In this way, defective parts are identified before they reach the OEM or customer. Rooted in physics, objective quality inspection / testing offers several advantages including consistency, accuracy, and reliability in assessing…

Despite meticulous planning, product quality flaws can arise. Such issues can lead to dissatisfaction among consumers, high scrap rates, excessive warranty claims, and financial loss for manufacturers. Here are three common product quality flaws associated with manufacturing: Defective Components or Materials: One of the primary causes of product quality flaws…

During manufacturing, testing is done to ensure quality and that the part conforms to industry and customer standards. This could include part defects or subsystem issues (such as unacceptable noise or vibration levels) that fail to meet a predetermined criterion. Catching defects BEFORE the product leaves the manufacturing floor reduces…

Time domain analysis is a versatile and powerful tool that plays a crucial role in understanding the dynamic behavior of systems across various disciplines. Its applications range from control systems engineering to signal processing, electronics, and structural engineering. By providing insights into how systems evolve over time, time domain analysis…

Resonance frequency is a phenomenon that occurs when an external force is applied to a system at the natural frequency of that system. In physics, this natural frequency is the frequency at which an object vibrates most strongly when disturbed. When an external force is applied at this specific frequency,…

Part-related flaws, anomalies, defects, or simply not meeting customer-defined specifications can have significant consequences that ripple through the entire supply chain. Poor quality leads to customer complaints and damage to a supplier’s reputation. Customers are less likely to tolerate subpar products, and a negative reputation can result in lost contracts….

Assessing product quality based largely on human judgment and perception is trouble waiting to happen. This manual approach comes with a range of challenges that can impact production efficiency, consistency, and your company’s overall reputation. Here are some key disadvantages of subjective quality testing for manufacturers: Inconsistency: Subjective testing is…
