  • Abstract
    We develop a financial model for a manufacturing process where quality can be affected by an assignable cause. We evaluate the options associated with applying a statistical process control chart using pentanomial lattice and Monte Carlo simulation methods. By connecting the aspects of market dynamics with the manufacturing operational aspects, we now have a way to help decision makers address the bottom-line profitability associated with the quality control decision
