Abstract
This research addresses the optimization of inspection station placement in production systems modeled as queueing networks, where defects may arise at multiple stages. Our proposed optimization model aims to minimize total costs and/or production lead time by determining the optimal number and placement of inspection stations within the network. By strategically positioning inspection stations, we mitigate the risk of defects propagating through the system, enhancing product quality and operational efficiency. We present numerical examples and evaluate various scenarios to identify the most effective configurations. This research contributes to advancing operational efficiency and quality management in complex production systems, offering practical insights for decision-makers in optimizing resource allocation and enhancing overall system performance.
