    Abstract: A method of operating a production for producing a plurality of products is provided. The method includes inspecting the products according to a first inspection rate. The inspection rate determines the number of products that are inspected during a period of time and/or from a given set of products. An inspection of one of the products includes testing (e.g., in a first number of testing steps) at at least one inspection station. The method includes obtaining test data based on the inspection of at least one of the products, and setting a threshold for a number of products not fulfilling the testing (e.g., during a specified period of time). The method also includes determining a second inspection rate based on the threshold set and the test data obtained, and inspecting the products according to the second inspection rate. The second inspection rate may be lower than the first inspection rate.
