Skip-lot sampling plans have been widely used in industries to reduce the inspection efforts on products that have an excellent quality history. These skip-lot sampling schemes are economically advantageous and useful to minimize the cost of the inspection of the final lots. Also, the skip-lot concept is sound and useful in the design of sampling plans. In this paper, we propose a designing methodology to determine the optimal parameters of a skip-lot sampling plan of type SkSP-2 when the quality characteristic under study follows a normal distribution. The optimal plan parameters are determined to minimize the average sample number subject to satisfying the producer’s and consumer’s risks simultaneously at the acceptable and limiting quality levels, respectively. An optimization problem is formulated in order to construct tables for determining the optimal parameters of the proposed sampling plan for both known and unknown standard deviation cases and the results are compared with the variables single sampling plans.

In this paper, we present the designing of the skip-lot sampling plan including the re-inspection  called SkSP-R. The plan parameters of the proposed plan are determined through a  nonlinear optimization problem by minimizing the average sample number satisfying both the producer's risk and the consumer's risks. The proposed plan is shown to perform better than the existing sampling plans in terms of the average sample number. The application of the proposed plan is explained with the help of illustrative examples.

We investigate the optimal designing of chain sampling plan for the application of normally distributed quality characteristics. The chain sampling plan is one of the conditional sampling procedures and this plan under variables inspection will be useful when testing is costly and destructive. The advantages of this proposed variables plan over variables single sampling plan and variables double sampling plan are discussed. Tables are also constructed for the selection of optimal parameters of known and unknown standard deviation variables chain sampling plan for specified two points on the operating characteristic curve, namely, the acceptable quality level and the limiting quality level, along with the producer’s and consumer’s risks. The optimization problem is formulated as a nonlinear programming where the objective function to be minimized is the average sample number and the constraints are related to lot acceptance probabilities at acceptable quality level and limiting quality level under the operating characteristic curve.

Abstract Background This research work is elaborated investigation of COVID-19 data for Weibull distribution under indeterminacy using time truncated repetitive sampling plan. The proposed design parameters like sample size, acceptance sample number and rejection sample number are obtained for known indeterminacy parameter. Methods The plan parameters and corresponding tables are developed for specified indeterminacy parametric values. The conclusion from the outcome of the proposed design is that when indeterminacy values increase the average sample number (ASN) reduces. Results The proposed repetitive sampling plan methodology application is given using COVID-19 data belong to Italy. The efficiency of the proposed sampling plan is compared with the existing sampling plans. Conclusions Using the tables and COVID-19 data illustration, it is concluded that the proposed plan required a smaller sample size as examined with the available sampling plans in the literature.

The mixed variables-attributes test plans for single acceptance sampling are proposed to protect “good lots” from attributes aspect and to optimize sample sizes from variables aspect. For the single and double mixed plans, exact formulas of the operating characteristic and average sample number are developed for the exponential distribution. Numerical illustrations show that the mixed sampling plans have some advantages over the variables plans or attributes plans alone.

Although traditional acceptance sampling plans (ASPs) need certain mass quality characteristics, it is not easy to define them as crisp value in some real case problems. The fuzzy set theory (FST) is one of the popular techniques to model uncertainties of the process and therefore fuzzy ASPs have been offered in the literature. Fuzzy set extensions have been proposed recently for better modeling of the uncertainties having different sources and characteristics. One of these extensions named neutrosophic sets (NSs) can be used to increase the sensitiveness and flexibility of ASPs. The ASPs based on NSs can give ability to classify the items as defective, non-defective and indeterminate. Since the operator can become indecisive for slightly defective items, these plans can provide a good representation of human evaluations under uncertainty. In this study, single and double ASPs are designed based on NSs by using binomial and poisson distributions that are also re-analyzed based on NSs. For this aim, some characteristics functions of ASPs such as probability of accepting a lot (Pa), average outgoing quality (AOQ), average total inspection (ATI) and average sample number (ASN) have also been analyzed based on NSs. Numerical examples are presented to analyze the proposed plans.

Standard sequential sampling plans for determining whether infestations of forest pests have attained critical levels are commonly based on the assumption that the counts follow a negative binomial distribution for which the shape parameter, k, which must be specified, may be difficult to estimate and may well be unstable. This paper studies the effect of misspecification of this parameter on the operating characteristic and average sample number functions of a sequential sampling plan. It appears that slight underestimation of the shape parameter can improve the operating characteristic at little cost, i.e., with only small increase in the average sample number.


In this manuscript, we discuss the designing procedure of chain sampling plan which is known as one of the conditional sampling plans under gamma-Poisson distribution. We determine the optimal parameters namely, number of items to be chosen for inspection from the lot and number of preceding lots to be considered in order to dispose the current lot by specifying two points on the operating characteristic curve, which is the usual designing approach of sampling plan. The procedure which is used to execute the proposed plan is provided and comparison is made among the proposed plan and existing sampling plans performance.
