Abstract
Process adjustment, also known as process targeting, is one of the classical problems in the field of
quality control and production economics. In the process adjustment problem, it is assumed that process
parameters are variables and the aim is to determine these parameters such that certain economic criteria
are optimally satisfied. The aim of this paper is to determine the optimal process adjustment in a two-stage
production system with rework loops. An absorbing Markov chain model is developed in which all items are
inspected for conformance with their specification limits. The cycle time of production process is included in
the model for optimizing total profit of the system. Also, effects of inspection errors are investigated.
