Hello,
I have a question regarding usage of defective instruments in production line. If an operator of assembly area is using lets say a defective Vernier caliper. The caliper has an error of 0,1mm so it can not be used by machining department, but the assembly department has acceptable error of 1mm. Theoretically if the assembly operator takes the defective caliper his work is not affected by it.
But is this practice allowable?
I am against it, since this caliper might result in an error, but my colleague says if the end result is not effected the caliper can be allowed in the job floor.
Is there any standard which governs whether this kind of instrument should be discarded or not?
