It is very common in manufacturing for removing a process step to save a large pile of money even if more human labor is needed.
As others have already implied there is always the possibility for technology to get better and thus the inspections not be needed, or perhaps automating the inspections.
Accounting is often weird. It makes no intuitive sense why just-in-time should save so much money, but it does.
I feel like just-in-time is one of the things that makes most intuitive sence. You used to tie 1M in Inventory and now you tie 100k. Stick the other 900k in a bank account (worst case scenario) and collect the interest.
