This paper proposes an innovative methodology for Acceptance Sampling by Variables, which is a particular category of Statistical Quality Control dealing with the assurance of products quality. Our contribution lies in the exploitation of machine learning techniques to address the complexity and remedy the drawbacks of existing approaches. More specifically, the proposed methodology exploits Ar...

This paper has been published in the Journal of Statistical Software (Kiermeier 2008) and describes the framework for creating and visualising acceptance sampling plans. Manufacturers and government agencies frequently use acceptance sampling to decide whether a lot from a supplier or exporting country should be accepted or rejected. International standards on acceptance sampling provide sampli...

In this paper, a single acceptance sampling plan based on truncated life test is proposed for lifetime that follows the Zubair-Exponential (ZE) distribution. For some numbers, confidence levels, values of ratio fixed experiment time to particular mean lifetime, and minimum sample sizes required assert specified are obtained. The operating characteristic function plans, consumer's producer's ris...

The purpose of this article is to present an optimization model for designing an acceptance sampling plan based on cumulative sum of run length of conforming items. The objective is to minimize the total loss including both the producer and consumer losses. The concept of minimum angle method is applied to consider producer and consumer risks in the optimization model. Also the average number o...

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...

Acceptance sampling procedures are the practical tools for quality assurance applications involving product control. Acceptance sampling systems are advocated when small sample size are necessary or desirable towards costlier testing for product quality. Dodge – Romig plans can be single or double plans. There are two sets of plans. One is based on satisfying a given limiting quality level (LQL...
