Single Sampling Plans for Variables Indexed by AQL and AOQL with Measurement Error

Abstract

Single sampling plans are investigated for variables indexed by acceptable quality level (AQL) and average outgoing quality limit (AOQL) under measurement error. Procedures and tables are provided for selection of single sampling plans for variables for given AQL and AOQL when rejected lots are 100% inspected for replacement of a nonconforming unit. For a particular sampling plan in operation for an observed measurement, a method for determining true operating characteristic (OC) functions and average outgoing quality (AOQ) is described for various error sizes.
