Question 1

quality control

Answer 1

monitoring, checking and testing procedures used throughout production

Question 2

quality assurance

Answer 2

procedures and policies which ensure that products meet specification criteria

Question 3

making recommendations

Answer 3

decisions made regarding the strategy for ensuring the accuracy of commercially produced products will mainly depend on
-scale of production
- type of products made- skill level of workforce

Question 4

small-scale production

Answer 4

great attention to dimensional accuracy,
range of measuring devices
-eg: craftspeople making bespoke furniture

Question 5

medium-scale production

Answer 5

-eg: batch production of aircraft

-use of jigs and fixtures
-high skill levels
-CNC machines

Question 6

large-scale production

Answer 6

eg: mass production of glass polymer
- effective machine tools,
sample testing of dimensions

Question 7

Answer 8

use of workforce teams to respond quickly to issues in PD and manufacture

Question 9

Critical path analysis (CPA)

Answer 9

analysis of stages in a project to ensure time-efficient completion

Question 10

monitoring checking and testing

Answer 10

simple visual checks
- chemical analysis of samples
- colour matching for pigments or paints
-digital measuring devices

Question 11

tolerance

Answer 11

level of accuracy acceptable

Question 12

specific quality control methods

Answer 12

Go/no go gauge-
=check a single measurement for tolerance range,
= gauge is made with minimum and maximum dimension easy to use

Laser or probe:
= co-ordinate measuring machinery
-probe can check predefined measurements of finished components
-3D CAD models

Question 13

digital measuring devices

Answer 13

-flexible measuring tool facilitate dimensional accuracy
