Better Use of Manpower Possible by Reducing Source Inspections of Simple Low-Cost, Commercial-Type Items

Previous GAO work indicated that quality assurance representatives spend considerable time inspecting simple low-cost commercial-type items at source (the contractor's facility). Similar observations were made by a study group of the Commission on Government Procurement. In this review GAO wanted to determine whether some of these source inspections could be more economically performed at destination (the Government's warehouse).
