in acceptance-sampling plans, the items of an incoming lot are inspected one by one. if the number of nonconforming items in sample is equal zero, the lot is accepted but if the number of nonconforming items is equal to one, then second sample is taken and the policy of zero acceptance number would be applied for the second sample. in this paper, a mathematical model is developed to design sing...
