It is common in the integrated targeting inventory literature to assume 100% inspection. Yet, sampling inspection is still a valid alternative in numerous situations. Inspection time has been assumed negligible in the literature of integrated inventory and sampling inspection. Neglecting inspection time is unrealistic, especially when rejected lots are sent for 100% inspection. This research work integrates process targeting, production lot-sizing and inspection. Given a scenario of a producer and distributer, the objective is to determine the optimal mean setting at the producer, the production lot size to be produced and shipped to the distributor and the reorder point at the distributor under a given sampling inspection plan. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, sampling inspection and its associated costs are rarely addressed in integrated supply chain models, and have never been addressed in integrated models with controllable production rates. Numerical illustrations using an efficient solution technique are presented to highlight the impact of various model parameters. The results indicated that inspection time has a significant impact on the total cost of the developed model, especially, when tightened inspection plans are used.

在集成的定位广告资源文献中，通常会进行100％的检查。但是，在许多情况下，抽样检查仍然是有效的替代方法。在综合清单和抽样检查的文献中，检查时间被认为可以忽略不计。忽略检验时间是不现实的，尤其是在将拒收批次发送至100％检验时。这项研究工作整合了过程目标，生产批量确定和检查。给定生产者和分销者的情况，目标是确定生产者的最佳均值设置，要生产和运输到分销者的生产批量大小，以及在给定的抽样检查计划下在分销者处的再订货点。据作者所知，抽样检查及其相关成本很少在集成的供应链模型中解决，而从未在具有可控制的生产率的集成模型中解决。提出了使用有效求解技术的数字插图，以突出显示各种模型参数的影响。结果表明，检查时间对开发模型的总成本有重大影响，尤其是在使用严格的检查计划时。
