Control is achieved with double visual inspection only. Control is achieved with charting methods, such as SPC (Statistical Process Control) OR gauging performed on setup -piece check. * Control is based on variable or attribute gauging performed 100% of the parts after parts have left the station. Error detection in subsequent operation. * Error detection in-station, or error detection in subsequent operations by multiple layers of acceptance: supply, select, install, verify. Cannot accept discrepant part.

Error detection in-station (automatic gauging with automatic stop feature). Cannot pass discrepant part. Discrepant parts cannot be made because item has been errorproofed by process/product design.
