There doesn't need to be a QC staff for every piece. A competent final assembler can easily pass or reject parts. Unless of course, the total process is automated with robots.
As far as mass produced parts go, it's also easy to see and reject parts that standout as defects. Just pull them out of the line at that point. To have one reject out of every three, would be on the side of being ridiculous, unless all workers have particularly bad eyesight. Or they're just mindless robot types.
