A human quality control system in furniture manufacturing – a pilot study

A human quality control system in furniture manufacturing – a pilot study. The article presents the results of pilot studies in which an attempt was made to check what the subjectivity of visual inspection looks like during the control of MDF delamination process in the milling process. 100% match of assessors’ scores was obtained only with low (VB = 0–0.08mm) and high (VB = 0.3–0.33mm) tool wear. In addition, the impact of gender on the results was significant. Women rated items less restrictively. Based on the results obtained, one can expect a problem with subjectivity when using a single-person human quality control system.
