They record inspection results, select defective products, and provide feedback to the manufacturing department. They are also responsible for compiling and analyzing inspection data and creating reports to maintain and improve product quality standards.
Future Outlook
As the importance of quality control in manufacturing increases, the introduction of automated inspection systems using AI and image recognition is progressing. However, the need for final visual inspections remains high, and the role of inspectors is expected to be maintained.
