Quizplus · Accepted Answer

100% inspection is necessary when the cost of a defective item exceeds the cost of inspecting a unit for that defect. This helps to ensure that all defective products are caught before they reach the customer, and the cost of potential defects is minimized. It may not be feasible or cost-effective to inspect every unit, so this decision must consider the cost of inspection versus the cost of defects.
