The α-Optimal Acceptance Sampling Scheme

Abstract

It is generally recognized that acceptance sampling by attributes is an important tool for industrial quality control. Various models have been proposed that can be used to determine a sampling plan. Some of these, including the one discussed in this paper, incorporate costs. The plan described here minimizes the maximum cost subject to an appropriately chosen constraint. A basic assumption used is that one knows the probability that the number of nonconforming items in a lot does not exceed “break even” quality. Plans are easily found with a computer.
