K. Tang and J. Tang (1994, Design of screening procedures: a review. Journal of Quality Technology 26(3) p. 209-226.) list some useful rules about when to inspect during manufacturing.
1. Inspect after procedures likely to produce nonconforming items.
Rasch: After applying a scoring key, check for misfit and negative
point-biserial correlations.
2. Inspect before costly procedures.
Rasch: Inspect before analyzing an enormous sample. Inspect output
on screen before printing on paper.
3. Inspect before procedures where nonconforming items may jam
machines.
Rasch: Misinterpretation of incorrect results "jams" the mind,
vitiating analysis of correct results.
4. Inspect before procedures that cover up nonconforming items.
Rasch: Scan maps and numerical details before counting on summary
statistics.
5. Inspect before assembly procedures where rework is costly.
Rasch: Inspect before using Rasch measures for statistical analysis
or substantive decisions. Errant pass-fail decisions are hard to
reverse.
