Abstract
The central issue in this chapter is the coordination between inspection and production-provided both operations have to be accomplished by the same operator or both consume the same production capacity. To study this issue, we consider a tandem system of two stages, focusing on the control of the first stage, with the second stage representing the aggregate of the rest of the production facility. There is a single server at the first stage that is engaged in processing an item, inspecting the produced item, or staying idle.
