Quality-Control Reports in Korean Factories

Core examples: 품질검사, 합격, 부적합, 샘플링, 원인분석, 개선조치, 재검사, 판정, 기준.

QC Korean decides what passes and what stops

A quality-control report may say:

샘플링 검사 결과 기준치 초과 항목이 확인되어 해당 로트를 부적합으로 판정함. 원인분석 후 개선조치 및 재검사를 실시할 예정.

This is not just a report. It decides whether a lot passes, whether goods are held, and what corrective action follows.

The key principle is:

Quality-control Korean is judgment language backed by evidence.

품질검사

품질검사

quality inspection.

Related:

수입검사 incoming inspection

출하검사 outgoing/shipment inspection

공정검사 in-process inspection

최종검사 final inspection

Learner action: inspection stage tells when the quality problem was found.

기준

기준

standard/criterion.

Related:

기준치 standard value/limit

검사기준 inspection standard

허용기준 allowable standard

판정기준 judgment criteria

Quality reports compare measured results to 기준.

Learner action: without 기준, pass/fail is unreadable.

합격 and 부적합

합격

pass/accepted.

부적합

nonconforming/not suitable/fail against requirement.

Related:

불합격 fail, often test-like

적합 conforming/suitable

부적합품 nonconforming product

합격품 accepted product

Learner action: 부적합 is formal quality/nonconformance language, not just “bad.”

판정

판정

judgment/determination.

Quality contexts:

합격 판정 pass judgment

부적합 판정 nonconforming judgment

판정 결과 judgment result

최종 판정 final judgment

Learner action: 판정 tells official result.

샘플링

샘플링

sampling.

Related:

샘플 sample

표본 sample, more statistical/academic

표본수 sample size

전수검사 100% inspection

Sampling affects confidence and scope.

Learner action: identify whether inspection covered all items or samples.

원인분석

원인분석

root-cause/cause analysis.

Related:

근본원인 root cause

발생원인 cause of occurrence

재발원인 cause of recurrence

5Why 분석 5-Why analysis, in some manufacturing contexts

Learner action: cause analysis should connect defect to corrective action.

개선조치

개선조치

improvement/corrective action.

Related:

시정조치 corrective action

예방조치 preventive action

재발방지 recurrence prevention

조치완료 action completed

Learner action: 개선조치 tells how the process will change.

재검사

재검사

reinspection/retest.

Related:

재시험 retest

재측정 remeasurement

재판정 rejudgment

Learner action: after corrective action, reinspection may determine release or rejection.

QC report table

Example report walkthrough

검사 결과, 치수 기준치 10.0±0.2mm를 초과한 샘플 3건이 확인되어 부적합으로 판정하였다.

Breakdown:

검사 결과 inspection result

치수 기준치 10.0±0.2mm dimensional standard 10.0±0.2 mm

초과한 샘플 3건 three samples exceeding it

부적합으로 판정 judged nonconforming

Plain reading:

As a result of inspection, three samples exceeded the dimensional standard of 10.0±0.2 mm, so they were judged nonconforming.

Learner action: measured item, tolerance, count, judgment.

Approval and responsibility

QC reports may include:

작성자 preparer

검토자 reviewer

승인자 approver

담당부서 responsible department

조치기한 action deadline

완료일 completion date

Learner action: QC documents often track accountability.

Example bank walkthrough

품질검사

Quality inspection.

Learner action: inspection stage.

합격

Pass/accepted.

Learner action: acceptable status.

부적합

Nonconforming.

Learner action: does not meet standard.

샘플링

Sampling.

Learner action: sample-based inspection.

원인분석

Cause analysis.

Learner action: why issue occurred.

개선조치

Corrective/improvement action.

Learner action: what changes.

재검사

Reinspection.

Learner action: verification after action.

판정

Judgment/determination.

Learner action: official result.

기준

Standard/criterion.

Learner action: comparison point.

QC report workflow

When reading Korean QC reports:

1. Identify inspected item.
2. Identify inspection stage.
3. Find 기준 or specification.
4. Find sample size or inspection scope.
5. Extract measured result.
6. Identify judgment: 합격/부적합.
7. Find defect/nonconformance description.
8. Find cause analysis.
9. Find corrective/preventive action.
10. Find reinspection or verification result.
11. Identify owner and deadline.

QC judgment pipeline

Quality-control Korean follows a decision pipeline.

A QC report is incomplete if the standard, result, and judgment are not connected.

부적합 severity table

These are related, but they do not name the same step.

Evidence-before-action warning

개선조치 should be tied to 원인분석 and verified by 재검사 or another check. If the text jumps from 부적합 to 개선 without cause or verification, mark the missing evidence.

A strong tool for this article would convert QC tables into status maps.

Suggested functions:

1. Inspection-stage label.
2. Standard/result comparison.
3. Sampling field.
4. Pass/fail judgment.
5. Nonconformance type.
6. Cause-action linkage.
7. Reinspection tracker.

Final rule

Quality-control Korean is a chain: 기준 → 검사 → 판정 → 원인분석 → 개선조치 → 재검사.

품질검사 finds evidence. 합격 and 부적합 decide status. 샘플링 defines scope. 원인분석 explains. 개선조치 fixes. 재검사 verifies.

Do not translate the report before finding the judgment.
