Final answer:
The incorrect inspection point listed is E) after a costly process. Inspection points typically occur upon receipt of goods, after production, and before shipping, as well as at the supplier's plant, but 'after a costly process' is not standard terminology.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to identify which of the listed options is not a typical inspection point in the flow of production or service provision. Inspections are critical at various stages to ensure quality control. A) upon receipt of goods from your supplier, B) when production or service is complete, and C) before the product is shipped to the customer, are all common inspection points. Inspection at the supplier's plant D) while the supplier is producing, is also a strategy often employed to ensure quality before shipment to the manufacturing facility, also known as source inspection or supplier auditing. However, E) after a costly process, while it might be logical to inspect after incurring significant expense during production, is not a standard terminology or recognized stage for an inspection point. Hence, the correct answer is E) after a costly process.
