The paper presents an economical model for double variable acceptance sampling with inspection errors. Taguchi cost function is used as acceptance cost while quality specification functions are normal with known variance. An optimization model is developed for double variables acceptance sampling scheme at the presence of inspection errors with either constant or monotone value functions. The m...

Attribute sampling is a powerful quality inspection tool. The Lot Acceptance Sampling Plans (LASPs) for sampling by attributes represent a valuable method of quality inspection. Significant LASPs such as the c=0, Dodge-Romig, Philips as well as ANSI/ASQC Z1.4 which replaced MIL-STD 105E have comprehensive procedures and statistical base. A single LASP can be implemented efficiently if inspectio...

Variational inference using the reparameterization trick has enabled large-scale approximate Bayesian inference in complex probabilistic models, leveraging stochastic optimization to sidestep intractable expectations. The reparameterization trick is applicable when we can simulate a random variable by applying a differentiable deterministic function on an auxiliary random variable whose distrib...

A common activity associated with many decommissioning projects is the clearance (release) of materials for unrestricted use. Conventionally, the clearance process involves 100% survey of all the material being released. Survey activities include scans, direct measurements of total surface activity, and smears for removable activity. Surveying 100% of the material is time-consuming and expensiv...

Skip-lot sampling plans have been widely used in industries to reduce the inspection efforts when products have good quality records. These schemes are known as economically advantageous and useful to minimize the cost of the inspection of the final lots. A new system of skip-lot sampling plan called SkSP-R is proposed in this paper. The performance measures for the proposed SkSP-R plan are der...

This paper presents the procedure for the construction and selection of mixed sampling plan (MSP) using Intervened Random effect Poisson Distribution (IRPD) as a baseline distribution. The plans are constructed through limiting quality level (LQL) and maximum allowable percent defective (MAPD) having the single sampling plan as attribute plan,. Tables are constructed for easy selection of the p...

This paper presents the procedure for the construction and selection of the mixed sampling plan using MAPD as a quality standard with the TNT(n;c1,c2 ) plan as attribute plan. The plans indexed through MAPD and AQL are constructed and compared for their efficiency. Tables are constructed for easy selection of the plan.
