You have spent the last 6 months working on a project to manufacture an automatic assembly line for speakers for automobiles. When each speaker comes off of the assembly line it is tested to ensure that it functions correctly, this type of testing is called ___________.

In the assembly line there are several stations. At one point there are 3 stations in a row that assemble the speaker, administer glue on the speaker and cure the glue for the speaker. You are doing some testing on these stations to ensure that they will work together to create properly glued components as well as pass the products from one station to the next correctly. This testing is called ____________.

We have several stations on this assembly line. In addition to the gluing stations, there are also a welding station, a terminal insertion station and a vision inspection station. At the end of the line there is a conveyor to deliver the components to their appropriate locations, good (passed) parts and bad (failed) parts. Now that you have finally completed your integration of the entire assembly line you are going to test the entire assembly line as one entity, in its ability to take raw materials and deliver good, finished parts. This type of testing is called ______________.

Now that we have completed our testing on this assembly line, we have the customer come to our facility so that we can demonstrate to them that the machine is operating to the specifications that we committed to in our contract. We have the customer to our facility for a full week and we run the machine for 40 hours. We are trying to achieve a 99.7% positive part rate to achieve the customer sign-off on the machine. This type of testing is called _____________.

With the failed parts that get put in the reject bin at the end of the line we will have an operator working at that station to work on the parts to bring them to within specification. The job that operator is performing is ____________.
