CHAPTER OVERVIEW AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This chapter presents lot-by-lot acceptance-sampling plans for attributes. Key topics include the design and operation of single-sampling plans, the use of the operating characteristic curve, and the concepts of rectifying inspection, average outgoing quality, and average total inspection. Similar concepts are briefly introduced for types of sampling plans where more than one sample may be taken ...
