Abstract
Cost-value structures associated with different defects play a prominent role in improving the human inspection performance. Equally, uncertainties also influence human decision making in the inspection domain and show significant effect on the operator's performance. Not much research has been done on the effect of the cost-value structure on human performance combined with the different levels of uncertainty present in the system. It is worth understanding and exploring the importance of the relationship between the cost value structure, uncertainty and human performance in the inspection domain. The research results reveal that the performance of human inspectors improves when they are enticed with economic benefits. Furthermore, feedback on economic gains along with performance feedback aids in the improvement of human inspection performance.
