Tech/Engineering - Manufacturing / stamping
German term or phrase: erprüfen
Produktqualität muss produziert werden (kann nicht „erprüft” werden).

to inspect (quality) in
Explanation:
You will find references to this in quite a lot of QA literature. The implication is that the end product should be determined by the manufacturing process, not the often wasteful routines of inspection. Get your processes right and the product will turn out right.

agree  Daniela Hubrich: exactly ! Things must be good and examinations can only find what is already in the products.
