Abstract :
The performance of four inspection-station allocation heuristics is evaluated on the basis of job completion time in serial production systems under different operating conditions. Inspection time is found to be the most influential factor in the selection of the proper heuristic. Moreover, the performance obtained in the time domain can be related to the performance in the cost domain within which a cost analysis can be performed
