46 Examples of Manufacturing Quality

John Spacey, April 30, 2023

Manufacturing quality is conformance to specifications. This is one aspect of quality that together with design quality produces products that meet customer expectations. Manufacturing quality is a process of planning and control that efficiently produces products to specifications while continuously monitoring for problems to improve. The following are common examples of manufacturing quality.

Assembly correctness	Batch traceability
Chemical safety	Color accuracy
Colorfastness	Component alignment
Component lubrication	Component quality
Component tension	Dimensional accuracy and precision
Durability	Edge finish
Elasticity	Electrical safety
Fastener tightness	Flexibility
Formulation correctness	Hardness
Humidity resistance	Hygienic and clean
Impact resistance	Labeling accuracy
Material specifications	Mechanical safety
Noise level	Odor control
Packaging integrity	Part mobility
Pattern alignment	Pressure resistance
Product dimensions	Product features
Product functionality	Product strength
Regulatory compliance	Scratch resistance
Seam alignment	Seam strength
Standards compliance	Surface finish
Temperature resistance	Thickness uniformity
Vibration level	Water resistance
Weight	Weld integrity

Manufacturing quality should not be confused with overall product quality that includes both design quality and build quality. Product quality conforms to customer expectations while manufacturing quality simply conforms to specifications. Manufacturing teams and partners may have no control over design -- their job is to accurately produce the design at scale.
