Abstract

Summary and Conclusions:

  • Capture-recapture models estimate remaining defects based on inspection-detected defects.
  • CR models enhance the reinspection decision
    • This can supplement existing reinspection decision criteria or be used standalone for processes with no existing defined reinspection criteria.
  • Decisions based on CR models can be augmented through the use of additional inspection variables.
  • CR-based decision models can be institutionalized as part of the inspection process.
    • Models are a relatively low-cost analysis method when used with an existing inspection data infrastructure.
