Andrew Hughes


My name is Andrew Hughes, and I specialize in quality control for machine tools, with a deep focus on improving precision, performance, and reliability in manufacturing processes. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in developing and implementing advanced quality control systems, utilizing cutting-edge technologies like machine vision, sensors, and artificial intelligence.Throughout my career, I have been involved in various projects aimed at optimizing machining operations, ensuring product consistency, and minimizing defects. My work in the integration of automated inspection systems has helped reduce human error, improve throughput, and achieve higher standards of quality assurance across machine tool operations.
I am passionate about advancing the field of machine tool quality control by incorporating smart technologies that enable real-time monitoring and predictive analytics. By embracing innovation, I strive to deliver solutions that enhance the efficiency, accuracy, and sustainability of industrial production.


Parameter Definition:
LSL and USL represent the lower and upper specification limits respectively. These are the boundaries within which the quality characteristic of the machined part should fall.
measure_part Function:
This function simulates the measurement of a machined part. It uses the random.normalvariate function to generate a random measurement that follows a normal distribution centered around the target value with a specified standard deviation.
quality_control Function:
This function performs the quality control process. It measures a certain number of parts (num_parts), checks if each part's measurement is within the specification limits, and counts the number of non - conforming parts. Finally, it calculates and prints the non - conforming rate.
Main Execution:
The quality_control function is called when the script is run directly.
