Abstract

In a construction process, inspection/tests are an important activity. Without inspection a task cannot be completed successfully. Inspection/tests are normally carried out before and after the execution of a task. To prevent occurrence of errors in a construction process inspections are considered as an essential activity. An example is presented in this paper to demonstrate the calculation of the optimum number of inspections/tests per lot.
