I think all inspection is waste. Because therefore we breaking the continuous material flow & inspection is not value added activity (if the customer not pay for it). Why we have to perform any kind of inspection (incoming/outcoming) ? Because we are not sure that the previous step/motion is 100% perfect. 100% perfection (Zero Defect) is pending mainly on the robust, perfect design & secondly on source inspection (fool proof solutions). Successive inspection (defect found at the next process stage) not so successful. The first step would be in any case of new products (manufacturing) to perform a proper TRIZ/(TDFSS)/DFSS. After that the manufacturing is much more easier & PSS (process six sigma) may be not needed ! (TDFSS:Technology Development for Six Sigma). Waiting for Your reply.

Dear All , I joined to day & found this topic here, which is very interesting for me as well. As You know any inspection is NVA and it must be eliminate. 100% inspection for me is a disaster. I would interested WHY? (5x). It is better if we are controlling the INPUT parameters then OUTPUT ! Theoreticaly 100% controll (f.e.: PFMEA, POKA-YOKE, AUTONOMATION) about ALL input parameters is ZERO DEFECT ?! But what about the noises ? Is the design enough ROBUST ? (DFMEA, DOE, Transfer fuction, Taguchy, ect.). I would like to propose for Pankaj to set up a ROADMAP to eliminate the 100% control. May be we can discouss it here .
