We develop an optimization model based on Markovian approach to determine the optimum value of thresholds in a proposed acceptance sampling design. Consider an acceptance sampling plan where items are inspected and when the number of conforming items between successive defective items falls below a lower control threshold value, then the batch is rejected, and if it falls above a control thresh...
