Acceptance Sample
Acceptance Sample
A predetermined number of units from each lot is inspected by attributes. If the number of nonconforming units is less than the prescribed minimum, the lot is accepted; if not the lot is rejected as being below standard. Sampling Plan: Lot size N = 9000 Sample size n = 300 Acceptance Number c = 2
If the consumer risk is 10% for an LQL of 0.08, this means that batches that are 8% nonconforming are poor and the consumers prefer to accept these batches no more than 10% of the time.
Inspection Level
MIL-STD-105E provides for 7 inspection levels: 4 special levels- S-1, S-2, S-3 and S-4. Limited in applications. Small samples are necessary and large risks must be tolerated. 3 general levels Level I, Level II and Level III. Progressing through S1 through Level III, the sample size and hence ability to discriminate between good and bad lots, increases. Level II is norm. Level I provides half as much as inspection; and level III provides about twice the amount of level II.
Inspection Scheme
Normal Tightened Reduced
Three Components
Sampling Plan states the lot size, sample size and the acceptance criteria. It determines the fate of the lot. Sampling scheme is a combination of sampling plan with switching rules from Normal to Reduced to Tightened or discontinue. A scheme is indexed by lot size and AQL. A set of rules specifies the type of inspection to be used. Sampling system is a collection of sampling schemes. It provides rules for the selection of an appropriate sampling plan. Example: ANSI/ASQ Z1.4-2003, modifications of MIL-STD-105E .
Implementation
Determine the lot size. Determine the inspection level (usually level II). Enter the table and find sample size code letter. Determine the AQL. Determine the type of sampling plan. Enter the appropriate table to find the sampling plan. Start with normal inspection and change to tightened or reduced based on switching rules.
