P-Value of Quality Inspectors Test
Not what you're looking for?
Test of product quality using human inspectors can lead to serious inspection error problems. To evaluate the performance of inspectors in a new company, a quality manager had a sample of 12 novice inspectors evaluate 200 finished products. The same 200 items were evaluated by 12 experienced inspectors. The quality of each item -whether defective or nondefective, was known to the manager. The next table lists the number of inspection errors (classifying a defective item as nondefective or vice versa) made by each inspector. A SAS printout comparing the two types of inspectors is shown in here.
