Inspection and Repair Cost Modeling Granularity: A Pragmatic Approach
2021 International Conference on Decision Aid Sciences and Application (DASA), 2021In manufacturing companies, quality costs can be determined and reduced, typically, by increasing preventive costs that are compensated by a reduction in failure costs. However, there are barriers to the determination of quality costs, limiting the ability of companies to establish quality cost reduction programs to become more competitive. The paper's

Minimum Inspection Costs in a Process Lane
Journal of Ship Production, 1987A study was undertaken to explore methods for determining the minimum cost of inspection in a process lane. A literature review revealed dynamic programming could be effectively applied to determine minimum inspection and repair costs. It is shown that in a product-oriented work breakdown system, the level of inspection can be treated as an "all or ...

Flexible inline low-cost inspection station
SPIE Proceedings, 2010A possibility to reduce the investment costs is an improved functionality of the inspection station in order to awaken investors' interest to buy. A new concept for 2-D and 3-D metric and logical quality monitoring with a more accurate, flexible, economical and efficient inspection station has been developed and tested at IITB. The inspection station

Cutting quality and inspection costs
Industrial Management, 1975With the scope for improving production techniques becoming more limited, Ken Bearton — UK managing director of the Swedish‐based Johansson Group — explains why management should be looking at another potential cost‐saving area — quality control and inspection.

OSHA INSPECTION COSTS, COMPLIANCE COSTS, AND OTHER OUTCOMES: THE FIRST DECADE
Review of Policy Research, 1982A number of critics of the Occupational Safety and Health Act have argued that it has greatly increased the cost of operation of the regulated industries while providing very little benefits. But OSHA's inspection costs were relatively inconsequential (only a small percent of work sites actually inspected).

Optimization of inspection intervals based on cost
Journal of Applied Probability, 2001We present a new inspection policy useful when testing is needed to detect failures of a single-unit system. It is supposed that tests may fail and give an erroneous result. The inspection policy minimizing cost per unit of time for an infinite time span is also discussed.

Minimisation of inspection and rework cost in a BLU factory considering imperfect inspection
International Journal of Production Research, 2013We address an optimisation problem for minimising the cost of both the inspection and the rework incurred throughout an interconnected inspection–rework system. In order to formulate the relevant cost objective function, assuming imperfect inspection, we make a time-based flow analysis between nodes (or shops), and derive the limiting sizes of flows ...

Inspection Strategy: Making Pipework Inspection Both Effective and Cost Efficient
SPE International Oilfield Corrosion Conference and Exhibition, 2016Abstract Corrosion models and the laboratory testing they are based on, give a measure of corrosion rate but not the spatial distribution of corrosion. Corrosion risk assessments can include information on areas that are more susceptible to corrosion and can give a measure of the probability of corrosion occurring, but when the corrosion

Applications and extensions of cost curves to marine container inspection
Annals of Operations Research, 2009Drummond and Holte introduced the theory of cost curves, a graphical technique for visualizing the performance of binary classifiers over the full range of possible class distributions and misclassification costs. In this paper, we use this concept to develop the Improvement Curve, a new performance metric for predictive models.
