Abstract

An acceptance sampling plan plays a very important role in any quality assurance system. In this new economical design of acceptance sampling plan, three types of costs are included in the objective function by considering average outgoing quality limit (AOQL), average quality level (AQL) and lot tolerance percent defective (LTPD) constraints based on the maxima nomination sampling (MNS) method in a two-stage approach. The design of this sampling inspection plan involves the minimum average total inspection (ATI). The model is designed to minimize the summation of costs and the proposed MNS economical sampling plan is compared with the classical one. Practitioners can use the proposed model to decrease the total cost of inspection.
