Abstract

One of the major determinants of inspection accuracy is speed of working. From a knowledge of the speed-accuracy trade off in inspection, it is possible to predict the optimum economic speed of inspection and hence to determine manning levels for inspection. This paper describes seven studies and shows that similar results were obtained irrespective of the type of product examined. Theoretical models of inspection are described which partially account for these effects. A method for the determination of optimum speed in economic terms is given.
