Abstract: Automotive body manufacturing runs based on processes and each process requires a cycle time. Producing good quality products within the stipulated cycle time is necessary. Measuring the quality of finished product is also part of the cycle and consumes time. Standard average time has been investigated and discussed for a case study of 30 samples from a similar product. Datum point inspection method using checking fixtures is discussed and measuring points of the product are determined. Finding inconsistencies of process time and rejected product are discussed. Measuring the quality of the finished product is also part of the process. An average of 71.6% of time was used for datum measurement. The advancement of augmented reality in measuring the quality of manufactured products has been investigated and discovered that there is a 20% in reduction of datum measurement process time compared to conventional method. This research ought to be an interactive approach in quality inspection, replacing the need for hardcopy instruction manuals as well as time saving process in contrast to conventional method.
