Abstract In modern manufacturing environments, the reliance on external suppliers for complex components often results in extended lead times, presenting critical challenges such as backorders and customer dissatisfaction. This study addresses the issue of defects in supplier-furnished parts and proposes an innovative framework for optimizing inspection processes at multiple stages of production. By defining an algorithm that determines optimal inspection points based on product configurations and complexity, we aim to enhance quality control while managing costs. Our findings indicate a significant reduction in lead times by 30%, a 40% decline in defect rates, and increased customer satisfaction rates post-implementation, ultimately leading to improved brand loyalty in the construction industry. This research provides actionable insights and a structured approach for industry practitioners seeking to refine their inspection processes.
