After pieces are received into inventory they go to an inspection dept that determines the number of good and bad pieces. Since this inspection dept does not do any actual manufacturing to the part I assumed the work should be defined as the first step of the first manufacturing process that is supposed to occur. Using this model is fine when manufacturing process exists but when the manufacturing processes are contracted out or the part is bought ready to be sold and only the only work required is the inspection stage, this model doesn't seems sufficient. Does this mean that inspection-only tasks should also be modeled as routes with BOMs (technically finished goods) received being converted to the inspected versions of it? How would I account for the inspection-only work which may result in the rejection of the received finish goods?
