This paper demonstrates the use of Bayesian methods in Acceptance Sampling for items which are categorized according to their attributes as defective or non defective, i.e binary (0-1) data. The main thrust of the paper is to account for the possibility of dependence among the items of a sample. An attempt has been made to incorporate the dependence structure in the acceptance sampling scheme. ...

• In the quality control of a production process (of goods or services), from a statistical point of view, the focus is either on the process itself with application of Statistical Process Control or on its frontiers, with application of Acceptance Sampling (AS) and Experimental Design. AS is used to inspect either the process output (final product) or the process input (raw material). The purp...

  In zero acceptance number sampling plans, the sample items of an incoming lot are inspected one by one. The proposed method in this research follows these rules: if the number of nonconforming items in the first sample is equal to 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 ap...

This study proposes a new approach for single-sampling plan by determining sample size and acceptance number. The proposed approach is based on a two-step methodology. In the first step: quality management step, different single sampling inspection plans were generated by running an optimization model for different possible acceptance numbers. While, in the second step: Multi-Attribute Decision...

aim and background: there is a relation between patients' levels of physical functioning and their acceptance of chronic pain. however, this relation has not been examined amongst iranian chronic pain patients. the purpose of this paper was to evaluate the relation between acceptance of chronic pain and physical disability. methods and materials: in a descriptive-correlational study, convenienc...
