A web-based tool to design and analyze single- and double-stage acceptance sampling plans

Abstract

Acceptance sampling plans are used to determine whether production lots can be accepted or rejected. Existing tools only provide a limited functionality for the two-point design and the risk analysis of such plans. In this article, a web-based tool is presented to study singleand double-stage sampling plans. In contrast to existing solutions, the tool is an interactive applet that is freely available. Analytic properties are derived to support the development of search strategies for the design of double-stage sampling plans that are more efficient and accurate in comparison with existing routines. Several case studies are presented.

Quick‐switch inspection scheme based on the overall process capability index for modern industrial web‐based processing environment

“…42 Furthermore, we developed a web-based tool by using the "R Shiny" package 43 to construct a user interface (UI) for practitioners to execute the above R function. 31,44 Figure 4 shows a screenshot of the web-based UI tool.…”

“…The nonlinear optimization program was coded with “nloptr” package in R software, 40,41 where a direct search algorithm was employed 42 . Furthermore, we developed a web‐based tool by using the “R Shiny” package 43 to construct a user interface (UI) for practitioners to execute the above R function 31,44 . Figure 4 shows a screenshot of the web‐based UI tool.…”

“…The established web-based tool not only can relieve practitioners from numerous managerial burdens and time-consuming paperwork but also easily activate the automated lot-sentencing mechanism and connect the modern web-based manufacturing execution system (MES). 31,32 The rest of this article is organized as follows. In Section 2, an overall yield-measure index, C T pk , and its sampling distribution are introduced.…”

“…Moreover, unlike the other existing ‐based schemes that provided tables for practitioners to discover the optimal scheme design, we structured and programmed the proposed ‐VQSS system in the cloud for lot‐measuring and ‐sentencing application. The established web‐based tool not only can relieve practitioners from numerous managerial burdens and time‐consuming paperwork but also easily activate the automated lot‐sentencing mechanism and connect the modern web‐based manufacturing execution system (MES) 31,32 …”

Designing acceptance single sampling plans: An optimization‐based approach under generalized beta distribution

“…For example, in food industries the production process involves the microbiological inspection of incoming goods, preparation, production, transformation, processing, packaging, and transport of food. In this sector, Luca et al 2 reporting three different case studies regarding the inspection of a lot of apples by an apple juice company, the control of the eggs freshness before and during the egg processing, and the inspection of an outgoing shipment of pieces of cheese.…”
