and the time savings from the reduction in distribution interval of the inspection package (sometimes involving international mailings) have been substantial.These savings together with the seamless integration into the existing environment are the major factors for this acceptance.From our viewpoint as experimentalists, the acceptance came too readily.Therefore we lost our opportunity to explore this tool using a series of controlled experiments to isolate the underlying factors or its effectiveness.Nevertheless, by using historical data we can show that the new process is less expensive in terms of cost and at least as effective in terms of quality (defect detection effectiveness).
