We study the flows induced by different rework loops in serial manufacturing systems with inspection stations. Average values of these flows and queuing network formulas are used for performance evaluation and optimisation of production lines. An application is presented for solving jointly the problems of inventory control and inspection station allocation in a CONWIP production line.
