Abstract Inspection threshold is one of important methods to reduce opportunities of misjudgement by imperfect inspection. Based on the Basian theory, the threshold is defined as the boundary between inspection and noninspection. However, formulation of the true threshold is difficult under a general complex system. This paper proposes approximation methods to derive the inspection threshold of the general system. Structure functions, minimal path and cut sets are used for the approximation. Finally, numerical examples for 2-outof-3 system are given.
