Point inspection refers to a type of quality control process where specific points or areas on an object, product or system are checked for defects, errors or issues. This can involve visual checks, measurements, testing and other forms of evaluation to ensure that certain standards or requirements have been met. Point inspections may be conducted at various stages during the production process, such as before assembly, after manufacturing, or even during shipping and handling. The goal is to identify any problems early on in order to prevent them from becoming larger issues further down the line, thus reducing costs and improving overall quality control.
