Abstract

This chapter develops the ideas underlying Design for Inspectability, by considering in more detail the manufacturing climate, by introducing the human operator as a third component alongside product and process, and by defining a Design for Inspectability procedure. We show, with an example of this procedure, how product, process and person can be designed together to improve inspectability.
