Abstract
This work studies quality output of a production system applying simulation and analytical models. It originates in semiconductors, but can be adapted to other industries. We investigate the impact of Inspection Policies (IP) on Flow-Time (FT) and quality, as measured by Out-Of-Control (OOC). Results indicate that growing inspection rate reduces OOC and increases FT until OOC is minimized, then OOC starts to grow while FT continues to increase. Dynamic IP)s are superior to the known static IP. Maximum inspection rate or inspection utilization does not acheive minimum OOC. Operation and repair times variability affect OOC more than their statistical functions.
