A process control model that selects items at fixed intervals is studied. In this model, inspection errors can occur. That is, a conforming item might be misclassified as nonconforming or a nonconforming item might be misclassified as conforming. Because of this, an item is subjected to multiple classifications before a final judgment is made. Various short and long-term behaviors and properties of the process are studied.
