A novel adaptive multiple dependent state sampling plan (AMDSSP) was designed to inspect products from a continuous manufacturing process under the accelerated life test (ALT) using both double (DSP) and (MDSSP) concepts. Under conditions, lifetime of product follows Weibull distribution with known shape parameter, while scale parameter can be determined acceleration factor (AF). The Arrhenius ...

Sampling plans, systems and schemes are used to accept/reject the lots when inspecting a series of lots. A sampling system is a grouping of two or more sampling plans with specified rules for switching between the plans for selecting the lots of finished products. Quick Switching System (QSS) is used to make accept or reject decisions when inspecting a series of lots. Quick Switching System req...

The purpose of this article is to present an optimization model for designing an acceptance sampling plan based on cumulative sum of run length of conforming items. The objective is to minimize the total loss including both the producer and consumer losses. The concept of minimum angle method is applied to consider producer and consumer risks in the optimization model. Also the average number o...

In 2000, Balamurali and Govindaraju presented the modified tightened two-level continuous sampling plan (modified MLP-T-2 plan). This paper explores the problem of minimizing the average fraction inspected (AFI) for a modified MLP-T-2 plan. The solution procedure is developed to find the optimal parameters that will meet the average outgoing quality limit (AOQL) requirement, while also minimizi...

The LTPD plans for acceptance sampling which minimize the mean inspection cost per lot of the process average quality when the remainder of the rejected lots is inspected were originally designed by Dodge and Romig for the inspection by attributes. The sampling plans for the inspection by variables were then proposed and it has been shown that such plans are in many situations in practice more ...
