Those parts are marked with red DYKEM to indicate they have been 100% inspected by the operator who must do so at predetermined intervals to insure quality. In this case it is one out of every 12 pcs. Those parts were made on 2nd shift and it is a method I use to keep consistent quality when no one is really there to oversee it. When a random inspection of non marked pcs the next morning is performed, they had better all be to print or else!
If a piece measures out of spec. the operator is to go back and find the last good piece before the previous inspected part, and remove any that do not pass inspection and then find out why there is a deviation from the print and correct it before proceeding.
This particular job is not all that fussy, thus the 1 in 12pcs interval. Some parts we make are 100% inspection regardless of qty.
