The 20% Tax: Why You Can’t Inspect Your Way to Quality
At a typical manufacturer, the cost of poor quality runs to 15–20% of sales. Shellye Archambeau, a Quality Digest contributor, once put a face on that number: A $250 million company added up its repair, rework, scrap, warranty, and write-off costs, and found they equaled 20% of sales. That’s one full day of every five-day week spent making scrap—about $200,000 a day. Most plants try to shrink that number with more inspection.

Connecting OES, X-ray, CMM, and Traceability in Aluminum Casting
A foundry can produce an impressive inspection package and still leave its customer with an unanswered question: Which records actually supported the decision to ship this part? An alloy chemistry report might identify a melt. An X-ray image could show one internal area. A coordinate measuring machine report may verify dimensions. A melt/heat identifier (as defined in the manufacturer’s traceability system) or serial record may follow the product through production.
