In most traditional manufacturing industries, ensuring the quality of products or workpieces is crucial, beyond the processes of research and production. Through methods such as visual inspection, instrument measurements, pressure testing, as well as initial checks and subsequent inspections, regardless of how many checkpoints the product goes through within the factory, the final product delivered to the customer must be in a fully functional, defect-free, and high-quality condition! However, human attention is limited, and in the repetitive process of operating instruments for measurements and interpreting values, there may inevitably be oversights. When dealing with a large quantity of products, in order to optimize human resources, only sampling is often implemented. The sensitivity to defects can only be assured through statistical methods, without effective means of further improvement.
