assembly and will have to be replaced later at a cost of $10 each when they are detected in
final product testing. (Answer in Appendix E)
a. Should this inspection position be eliminated?
b. What is the cost to inspect each unit?
c. Is there benefit (or loss) from the current inspection process? How much?
