Rule of 10 (past)(better)

An instrument or gage should be 10 times more accurate than dimensional tolerances of the part being measured. (A factor of 4 is known as the Mil Standard rule).

(Kalpakjian, Smith; Manufacturing Engineering and Technology 4th Edition; pg. 961)


Rule of 10 (new)(group: measurement principle)

If there is a tolerance on the objective quantity, the rule of 10 measurement principle says that the finest resolution of the measurement system must be less than or equal to 1/10 of the tolerance. The measurement system must be reasonably simple and easy to operate.

(T.M. Kubiak and Donald W. Benbow, The certified six sigma black belt handbook, second edition, page 309)





Esteem Value (past)


Manufacturing adds value to materials as they become discrete products and are marketed. Because this value is added in individual stages during the creation of the product, the utilization of value analysis is important.


Esteem value (prestige value) reflects the attractiveness of the product that makes its ownership desirable.


(Kalpakjian S. & Schmid S., Manufacturing Engineering and Technology, p.1266)


Esteem Value (new) (better) (group: accounting)

It is worth spending a moment to consider what is meant by the term value. Value is a concept which can be thought of in three ways:

Exchange value: what a buyer will pay for a product;

Use value: what the buyer will pay for the practical function which the product carries out;

Esteem value: the extra which the buyer will pay over and above the use value

It is readily seen that the first is the total of the other two. The way in which they combine can vary dramatically. Consider two cars; one a Mercedes, the other a Ford. The use value of each is more or less identical, but the esteem value of one is far higher than that of the other. Thus the exchange values are markedly different.

Hundred-Percent Inspection (past)


When inspection is conducted by humans, there is no guarantee that %100 of the defective parts will be found; because of fatigue and boredom, human inspection is only 80-85% effective.


(Schey John A., Introduction to Manufacturing Processes, p.897)

Hundred-Percent Inspection (past) (better)

A Hundred percent inspection is the inspection of every unit of product (procedure, data, operations, etc.).In same cases of 100 percent inspection, the accepts rejects decision will be made not for the entire lot, but for each unit individually, based upon the results of inspection the unit for the quality characteristics concerned. For critical quality characteristics 100 percent inspection or inspection of relatively large samples is usually required to assure the desired quality protection.

(John Langford, Logistics: Principle and Applications, second edition, page 93)

Hundred-Percent Inspection (new) (group: quality control)


100 percent inspection is somewhat comparable to production line operation because each and every item is subjected to it. One hundred percent inspection is required in certain highly critical processes, and in processes that produce unavoidable defects, such as semiconductor fabrication. However, both Deming and Juran point out that 100 percent inspection done by humans are usually only around 80 percent effective. Thus in today’s industrial environment, 100 percent inspections are nearly automated.


 (Rober W. Berger, The Certified quality engineer handbook, second edition, page 74)






Resolution (past)

Resolution, also called sensitivity, is the smallest difference in dimension that the instrument can detect or distinguish. A wooden yardstick, for example, has far less sensitivity than finely graduated steel rule.

(Kalpakjian, Smith; Manufacturing Engineering and Technology 4th Edition; pg. 946)

Resolution (new) (better) (group: programming)


Whether on the Web or a local application developed in Access, VB,C, or any other platform, your users will have displays set to various resolutions.


This means that, absent any adjustments by you inside your program, the forms you display on the screen will appear either bigger or smaller than they do to you on your machine. Whether bigger or smaller depends on whether the target machine’s screen resolution is higher or lower than the screen resolution of the machine on which the form was designed.


If your form goes to a machine with a higher resolution, your form will shrink. If it goes to a machine with a lower resolution, your form will appear larger.
