Abstract

The measurement uncertainty has a significant impact on quality control processes. This is particularly true of standards that are assessed to determine if a product is compliant. This ambiguity introduces two potential risks of decision-making: accepting a non-conventional product (the consumer's risk) or rejecting a conventional product (the producer's risk). This investigation explores the potential for false decisions caused by measurement errors in product assessments. By studying data near the control limits, a greater understanding of the manufacturing process is intended to facilitate informed decision-making, and guide the implementation of effective quality control methods. The investigation highlights the importance of selecting suitable measurement instruments to reduce false positive quality control decisions, which resulted in 11.43% of initially accurate parts violating the 0.1 mm tool. The 0.001 mm tool has a higher degree of precision than the 0.01 mm tool, but it may not always be practical financially
