Quality Control Terminology

This section covers key terms and concepts related to sheet metal quality control and inspection.

Quality control terminology provides a clear framework for understanding and managing sheet metal quality. It turns quality from a vague impression into measurable data, and shifts the focus from reacting to problems to preventing them in the first place. Once you understand quality control, you gain a core capability for protecting product integrity and strengthening your company’s competitiveness.
