Economic design of sampling plans with multi-decision alternatives

Abstract

For situations where there are several markets with different profit-cost structures, economic attributes sampling plans are developed for determining the market to ship the lot to. Two sampling plans are considered; the fixed-size sampling plan with several levels of acceptance numbers, and the inverse sampling plan with several levels of sample sizes. Linear profit models are constructed which involve four profit/cost components; profit from a conforming item, inspection cost, replacement cost, and cost from an accepted nonconforming item. For fixed-size and inverse sampling plans, methods of finding optimal sampling plans are presented and examples with beta-binomial prior distributions are given.
