Minimum Average Total Inspection of Variable Lot-size Sampling Plan for Continuous Production

Abstract

A This paper explores the problem of minimizing the average total inspection (ATI) of Read & Beattie's variable lot-size sampling plan for continuous production. The solution procedure is developed to find the optimal parameters (n, c) that will meet the average outgoing quality limit (AOQL) requirement, while also minimizing the ATI for this variable lot-size plan.K W: Type I continuous sampling plan, variable lot-size sampling, plan for continuous production, average outgoing quality, average outgoing quality limit, average total inspection

“…Almost a decade later Dodge and Torrey (1951) developed the CSP-1 plan further and presented two additional plans CSP-2 and CSP-3. Since, several authors have investigated and modified these sampling plans further (see for example, Chen and Chou, 2004;Balamurali and Jun, 2006;Chen and Chou, 2002;Derman et al, 1957;Balamurali and Subramani 2004;Govindaraju, 2000;Lieberman and Solomon, 1955). Some of these plans have also been adopted as US military standards (e.g.…”
