In multi-stage manufacturing systems, optimisation of part quality inspection planning (PQIP)
problem means to determine the optimal time, place and extent of inspection activities for …

Product design's impact on quality is widely recognized. Less well recognized is the impact
of production system design on quality. As quality can be improved by integrating it with the …

In this paper, we present an agile integrated inspection-operation planning model wherein
inspection actions are planned alongside the machining operations to make the production …

The allocation of quality control stations (AQCS) in multistage manufacturing systems has
been studied extensively over the decades. This paper reviews the existing approaches …

This paper is devoted to serial production lines consisting of producing and inspection
machines that obey the Bernoulli reliability and Bernoulli quality models. Such production …

This study develops a novel Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) approach to estimate system
reliability for a stochastic production system with finite buffer storage. System reliability …

This paper proposes a robust possibilistic and multi-objective mixed-integer linear
programming mathematical model to concurrently plan part quality inspection and …

The phenomena of machine failures, defects, multiple rework loops, etc., results in much
difficulty in modeling rework systems, and therefore the performance analysis of such …

Since the quality of products is a major concern in production systems, implementing
efficient inspection policies is of great importance to reduce quality-related costs. This article …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to present a practical proposal for integrating
production control (PC) and quality control (QC) at the shop floor level. Design/methodology …
