In the Glossary . . . .The definitions for Alpha risk, Beta risk, Type I error, Type II error and the assignment of Producers Risk to Type I and Consumers Risk to Type II all seem correct.
However the actual definition of Consumers and Producters Risk under those specific titles seems to be reversed.  I believe that Producers Risk is rejecting good parts as bad and Consumers Risk is shipping bad parts as if they were good.
I know this can be tricky, can someone confirm my concern?

That act of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true is a Type I error.
Failing to to reject the null hypothesis when it is false is a Type II error.
Keepinh these consistant I would say the the producers risk is rejecting when it is good. Consumer risk shipping bad parts.
So it seems you are correct. Please change the glossary as required.
