  -> Danke, Brigitte.
agree  Rosa Foyle: I think Ruth's use of "inspector" is a more accurate translation. The inspector controlls the quality but in US English "inspector" is the correct name for this position in a company.

agree  Kim Metzger: A quality control inspector would be responsible for Sperrungen - closing down.
