Acceptance Sampling: Prepared by Anthony Lizza Penn State University
DECISION
ACCEPT LOT
REJECT LOT
SAMPLE AGAIN
DECISION
100% INSPECTION
Producers risk
Risk associated with a lot of acceptable quality rejected
Alpha
Type I error(producers risk)
Beta
Type II error(consumers risk)
C
Where rejections would occur when defects exceeded this percent
First
Next
N(AQL/AQL)=n-sample size C= reject if more percent defects more
The equations can be tricky but the exercise later will help
Variable(continuous)
Usually measured by mean and standard deviation

An Exercise cont.
Assume a manufacturer purchases wire from an outside vendor. The wire vendor has an accepted quality level of 1% and accepts a 5% risk of rejecting lots below this level. The manufacturer considers lots with 3% defectives to be unacceptable and assumes a 10% risk of accepting a defective lot. Develop a sample plan for the manufacturer to be followed by the inspection personnel
Summary
Acceptance sampling is used by organizations to determine if there processs are running within a controlled limit and to see if they should reject or accept lots
Summary
There are many basic terms you need to know to be able to understand acceptance sampling
SPC, Accepts Lot, Reject Lot, Complete Inspection, AQL, LTPD, Sampling Plans, Producers Risk, Consumers Risk, Alpha, Beta, Defect, Defectives, Attributes, Variables.
Summary
Advantages/Disadvantages of acceptance sampling Purpose of acceptance sampling When to use acceptance sampling Equations involved Exercise
Notes pages have many beneficial hints and help better relate the material, the answer to the exercise is also located on a the notes page of the exercise.
