In this paper, we develop double acceptance sampling plan and group acceptance sampling plan for an inverse Weibull distribution based on a truncated life test. We consider the median lifetime of the test units as a quality parameter and obtain the design parameters such as sample size and acceptance number. These plans are obtained under the consumer’s risk and the producer’s risk simultaneous...

CIRCA is an architecture for real-time intelligent control. The CIRCA planner can generate plans that are guaranteed to maintain system safety, given certain timing constraints. To prove that its plans guarantee safety, CIRCA relies on formal verification methods. However, in many domains it is impossible to build 100% guaranteed safe plans, either because it requires more resources than availa...

A common activity associated with many decommissioning projects is the clearance (release) of materials for unrestricted use. Conventionally, the clearance process involves 100% survey of all the material being released. Survey activities include scans, direct measurements of total surface activity, and smears for removable activity. Surveying 100% of the material is time-consuming and expensiv...

In this paper, a reliability acceptance plan is developed assuming that the lifetime of a product follows the generalized Rayleigh distribution with known value of the shape parameter. We obtain test termination ratio by considering the producer’s risk for given values of the sample size and the acceptance number. A comparison of proposed sampling plan has been made with an existing acceptance ...

In this article, a novel acceptance-sampling plan is proposed to decide whether to accept or reject a receiving batch of items. In this plan, the items in the receiving batch are inspected until a nonconforming item is found. When the sum of two consecutive values of the number of conforming items between two successive nonconforming items falls underneath of a lower control threshold, the batc...

The ranked set sampling method has been made more inclusive in this paper. In order to estimate the quartile of Laplace distribution, generalized technique is used. Two key factors are taken into account for new course action: data selected using Quartile Ranked Set inspecting plan from a significant portion, and lifetime test units acknowledged follow summary noteworthy dissemination. base num...
