Acceptance Sampling Montgomery

Basic Acceptance Sampling Procedures document discusses: [1] Acceptance sampling is used for receiving inspection activities, where accepted lots enter production and rejected lots may be returned or subjected to other actions. [2] It is useful in situations where 100% inspection is not practical or economical. [3] There are different types of sampling plans including single, double, multiple, and sequential sampling plans which can be designed to produce equivalent results.

Basic Acceptance Sampling Procedures

1
The Acceptance Sampling Problem
Typical application of acceptance sampling is for lot disposition, sometimes
referred to as lot sentencing, for receiving inspection activities
Accepted lots are put into production
Rejected lots may be returned to supplier or subjected to other lot-
disposition action
Sampling methods may also be used during various stages of production

Types of sampling plans
• One major classification is by data type, variables and attributes

• Another is based on the number of samples required for a decision. These include:
– Single-sampling plans
– Double-sampling plans
– Multiple-sampling plans
– Sequential-sampling plans
• Single-, double-, multiple-, and sequential sampling plans can be designed to
produce equivalent results. Factors to consider include:
– Administrative efficiency
– Type of information produced by the plan
– Average amount of inspection required by plan
– Impact of the procedure on manufacturing flow

Lot Formation and Random Sampling
• There are a number of important considerations informing lots for
inspection, including:
• Lots should be homogeneous.
• Larger lots are preferred over smaller ones.
• Lots should be conformable to materials-handling systems used in both
supplier and consumer facilities.

Effect of n and c on OC curves:

11
• The poorest quality level for the supplier’s process that a consumer
would consider to be acceptable as a process average is called the
acceptable quality level (AQL)
• AQL is a property of the supplier’s manufacturing process, not
a property of the sampling plan

• The protection obtained for individual lots of poor quality is


established by the lot tolerance percent defective (LTPD)
• Also called rejectable quality level (RQL) and the limiting
quality level (LQL)
• LTPD is a level of lot quality specified by the consumer, not a
characteristic of the sampling plan

• Sampling plans can be designed to have specified performance at


the AQL and the LTPD points

AOQL is the maximum
point on the curve

15.3 Double, Multiple and Sequential Sampling

17
Advantage of a double-sampling plan over single sampling is that it may reduce total
amount of required inspection

Suppose first sample in a double-sampling plan is smaller than for a single-sampling plan

If lot is accepted or reject on first sample, cost of inspection is lower

Also possible to reject a lot without completing inspection of second sample
