Frequently asked questions about Quality Inspectors
What are the daily duties of a Quality Inspector?
Quality Inspectors spend their time implementing a range of quality assurance techniques and tests on products. They weigh items, measure their dimensions, compare their color, test mobility and complete other actions that confirms a product meets all quality expectations. Some Quality Inspectors are integrated into the assembly line and inspect every single product, while others complete random quality assessments.
If a Quality Inspector identifies a product that doesn’t meet specifications, they determine if it can be corrected or if it needs to be discarded and destroyed. Quality Inspectors carefully record what was wrong with each defective product and identify the cause of the quality issue. They write reports about the quality control rates on their team and make suggestions about how to eliminate future performance problems.
What is the difference between a Quality Inspector and a Quality Engineer?
Quality Inspectors and Quality Engineers are both quality assurance experts who serve a vital role in helping a company deliver consistent products to customers. Quality Engineers have a leadership and managerial role while Quality Inspectors implement their directions on an assembly line. Quality Inspectors work on the floor physically inspecting items on the production line while Quality Engineers work in an office planning and developing quality assurance techniques.
Quality Engineers create the blueprints and product specification documents that Quality Inspectors use to rate the quality of items on the line. Quality Inspectors can make suggestions about how to improve quality control systems, but Quality Engineers are the people responsible for integrating those improvements into current processes.
What are the qualities of a good Quality Inspector?
Because Quality Inspectors need to be able to interpret technical specification documents to properly assess an item’s quality, they must be detail-oriented and excellent at following instructions. Industry knowledge is essential for Quality Inspectors to understand the documents they’re interpreting and properly use testing tools.
Good Quality Inspectors are highly efficient people who can quickly determine if a product meets quality specifications or not, allowing them to keep up with the pace of production without slowing down. Successful Quality Inspectors are team players who enjoy working with others to solve problems and eliminate defects as a group, while still takign individual accountability for their work.
