Abstract :

Any production process should be adjusted based on a target value. The problem of process mean determination in a production system with two markets is investigated. An absorbing Markov chain is employed to formulate the flow of items. All items are inspected and if the value of the quality characteristic falls below a lower limit then the item is scrapped and when it falls above an upper limit then the item is reworked. Since some items are reworked thus the cycle time of production is computed in the presence of the inspection errors. Numerical studies are performed to analyze the results
