Abstract :To be able make right decisions in management, it is necessary to collect accurate data from processes. The precision and consistency of the measurement systems through which these data are collected affect the reliability of the data. The data divide into two categories: quantitative and qualitative. Quantitative measurements are for variables, and qualitative measurements are for attributes. Attributes are obtained in automatic or manual inspections. Manual inspections are performed by humans. Although the human eye is very sensitive, there may be problems with consistency due to many factors, ranging from psychology to environmental conditions. Attribute agreement analysis has been used for many years to understand the degree to which human inspection-based controls are consistent. The known method is mostly used in the analysis of measurement systems where piece-based pass/fail decisions are made. In the production sector, long-length products are also manufactured and cannot all be evaluated using a pass/fail decision. The present study proposes a new Attribute Agreement Analysis approach for long-length products. The proposed approach was implemented in the quality control unit of a textile fabric manufacturing business. In field tests, the agreement of the operators with each other and with the standard was found to be 45%. This finding implies that there is room for improvement.
