Abstract: In recent years researchers in various quality control procedures consider the possibility of inspection errors as an important issue. The presence of these errors leads to changes in the so-called operational characteristic (O.C.) control curve, and as a result the average outgoing quality of an industrial process. We present a new mathematical model that can be applied to calculate such quantities as the expected number of defective items replaced in an accepted lot, and other functions of this process.

Keywords: Inspection Errors, industrial process, Bayesian methods, statistics
