Detection evaluation criteria.

DetectionRankingRange of detection methods

Almost impossible10Cannot detect or is not checked.
Very remote9Control is achieved with indirect or random checks only.
Remote8Control is achieved with visual inspection only.
Very low7Control is achieved with double visual inspection only.
Low6Control is achieved with charting methods, such as SPC (statistical process control).
Moderate5Control is based on variable gauging after parts have left the station, or go/no go gauging performed on 100% of the parts after parts have left the station.
Moderately high4Error detection in subsequent operations, or gauging performed on setup and first-piece check (for set-up causes only).
High3Error detection in station, or error detection in subsequent operations by multiple layers of acceptance: supply, select, install, verify, cannot accept discrepant part.
Very high2Error detection in station (automatic gauging with automatic stop feature). Cannot pass discrepant part.
Very high1Discrepant parts cannot be made because item has been error-proofed by process/product design.
