	%X In the field of production, characterization of surface
roughness plays a vital role in assessing the quality of a manufactured
product. The defined parameters for this assessment, each, have their
own drawbacks in describing a profile surface. From the purview of
small-scale and medium-scale industries, an increase in time spent for
manual inspection of a product for various parameters adds to the
cost of the product. In order to reduce this, a uniform and established
standard is necessary for quantifying a profile of a manufactured
product. The inspection procedure in the small and medium-scale
manufacturing units at Jigani Industrial area, Bangalore, was
observed. The parameters currently in use in those industries are
described in the paper and a change in the inspection method is
proposed.
