Abstract
This paper provides a Bayes approach for the quality control of a job-shop process which is defined by an M/G/1 queue. An inspection procedure which is jointly optimal from the process operational characteristics and quality control perspectives is found using a queue-inspection renewal cycle analysis (with overall expected profit per unit time as the optimization objective). Extensive numerical results are obtained, highlighting the relationships between quality control and (queueing-like) job shop management.
