What will happen to a component that is out of the tolerance and how can this be checked?

• A. It will be rejected only if flagged manually
• B. Not checked until final QC
• C. Measured with calipers
• D. It can be checked by a go/no-go gauge and will be rejected during quality control

Answer: (D)

Parts must stay within the specified size range, and quality control uses simple, quick checks to confirm this. A go/no-go gauge gives an immediate pass/fail result: if the component fits, it passes; if it doesn’t, it’s rejected. This lets defective parts be identified and stopped at the QC stage, rather than slipping through to assembly or shipping. While calipers can measure dimensions, they require more time and judgment to decide pass/fail, and relying on final QC would delay catching defects.
