Like our screw machines if parts come out of the chute into the pan, they'll check a few parts then if they're within spec you will transfer the parts into another pan; The second pan is considered good parts.

I am familiar with the concept, but have never heard it called by a formal name.

Thank you, was just wondering everyone's input as we are writing work instructions and didn't know if there was a formal name lol.

We do that all the time in my shop. No official name in the records, but I took to calling it part segregation.

I heard of a 2-bin kanban in the context of lean manufacturing.
