In-line production inspection is measuring the product in the production line and offline inspection is the measurement of the product is carried out by removing from the production line . This can either be retuned to the line, discarded or kept as a rest sample .

While Mohammed's answer is right, it does not provide examples as was asked in the second part of the question. Hence, there are no winners to this question.
