It is almost always cheaper to build in quality from the start than to inspect it in but both choices are available.
You can use the inspection to rate the employees work and base their pay on the quality of their work. That make it in their interest to do the job right AND to make sure their equipment works well.

Whatever. We tried to remove any failing tools from the production floor before they caused problems. I don't really care how you do things at your place. Several customers were US government agencies, and THEY required the testing, and a proper logbook, along with ISO 9001 certification and quarterly inspections. They were paying $20,000 to $80,000 USD per custom built unit, so they had the right to set the standards.
