{"title":"Need for Standardization of Manual Inspection in Small and Medium-Scale Manufacturing Industries","authors":"Adithya Nadig","volume":95,"journal":"International Journal of Economics and Management Engineering","pagesStart":3746,"pagesEnd":3750,"ISSN":"1307-6892","URL":"https:\/\/publications.waset.org\/pdf\/10004861","abstract":"In the field of production, characterization of surface
\r\nroughness plays a vital role in assessing the quality of a manufactured
\r\nproduct. The defined parameters for this assessment, each, have their
\r\nown drawbacks in describing a profile surface. From the purview of
\r\nsmall-scale and medium-scale industries, an increase in time spent for
\r\nmanual inspection of a product for various parameters adds to the
\r\ncost of the product. In order to reduce this, a uniform and established
\r\nstandard is necessary for quantifying a profile of a manufactured
\r\nproduct. The inspection procedure in the small and medium-scale
\r\nmanufacturing units at Jigani Industrial area, Bangalore, was
\r\nobserved. The parameters currently in use in those industries are
\r\ndescribed in the paper and a change in the inspection method is
\r\nproposed.","references":"[1] D.J. Whitehouse, Handbook of Surface and Nanometrology (second\r\nedition), Taylor and Francis group, 2011, ch. 2.\r\n[2] T.V. Vorburger, J.
