| Abstract | The study is concerned with the design of economic location of inspection stations in a mass production garment plant. The measure of effectiveness of the design is the maximum expected gain per item. Gain herein is the difference between revenue and cost related to a manufacturing item in the process. Multiple defects and their characteristics are studied. The requirement of acceptable quality level is based on the management policies. Possible improvements are studied. The concept of tightening inspection is proposed. The problem is then formulated as a dynamic programming model. Results of the model are presented and compared with the existing process. The design of inspection program is then proposed as an alternative to the Company including guidelines for the implementation of the model. A specially designed computer program is developed for this case. |
