Acceptance Sampling
15 - 1
Acceptance Sampling
Acceptance Sampling is very useful when
. Large numbers of items must be processed in a short amount
of time
. The cost of passing defectives is low
. Fatigue/boredom is caused by inspecting large numbers of
items
. Destructive testing is required

Sampling Plans
Sampling Plans specify the lot size, sample size, number of samples
and acceptance/rejection criteria. Sampling plans involve
. Single sampling
. Double sampling
. Multiple sampling

Acceptance Sampling
Purposes
Determine quality level
Ensure quality is within predetermined level
Advantages
Economy
Less handling damage
Fewer inspectors
Upgrading of the inspection job
Applicability to destructive testing
Entire lot rejection (motivation for
improvement)
Disadvantages
Risks of accepting bad lots and
rejecting good lots
Added planning and documentation
Sample provides less information
than 100-percent inspection

Example: Create an Operating Characteristic Curve for the sampling plan: Lot
Size = N = 2000, sample size = n = 10, reject if number defectives > C = 1.
