Increased competition on the global market forces producers to follow policies leading to finite production runs. This situation requires implementation of a new type of inspection procedures with the aim to improve or sustain production quality levels. One of the most important aspects in the design of inspection processes is the specification of inspection intervals. This paper provides a sim...

This paper explores the role of inspection processes as a mode of governing and offers of a comparison of the formation and trajectories of inspection processes in England and Scotland. We start from a consideration of the rising importance of inspection processes in the transformation of forms of governing in recent decades, associated with such tendencies as the New Public Management, governi...

This paper deals with the inspection of pipeline by means of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The different methods of pipeline inspection, its technical and economic efficiency have been examined. The theoretical and experimental base for air monitoring on base of On Board Infrared Equipment (OBIE) have been examined. The method of pipeline inspection by means of UAV has been proposed. The descr...

Objective: To assess the influence of practitioners’ expertise in code inspection of software components. Method: Subjects expertise was determined based on their independently assessed academic record. Inspection outcome was represented by the diversity of defects found at two levels of abstraction. Results: Statistically significant correlations among expertise and inspection outcomes were fo...
