Acceptance Sampling • Form of inspection applied to lots or batches • Before or after a process, not during the process • Purpose: determine whether lot satisfies predetermined standards SJSU Bus. 140 - David Bentley
Sampling Plans • Plan defines: • Lot size • Sample size • Number of samples • Acceptance/rejection criteria SJSU Bus. 140 - David Bentley
Single-sampling Plans • One random sample from each lot • Every item in sample inspected and classified: good or bad • If number of defects (bad) > specified limit, lot is rejected SJSU Bus. 140 - David Bentley
Double-sampling Plans • Upper and lower defect limits set for each lot • Results of initial sample • Defects ≤ lower limit: lot accepted • Defects ≥ higher limit: lot rejected • Defects between two limits: take 2nd sample • If 2nd sample needed, compare number of defects from both samples to third value • If number of defects (bad) > specified value, lot is rejected SJSU Bus. 140 - David Bentley
Multiple-sampling Plans • More than 2 samples • 2 limits specified for each sample • Cumulative number of defects compared to limits for each successive sample • Defects ≤ lower limit: lot accepted • Defects ≥ higher limit: lot rejected • Defects between two limits: continue sampling SJSU Bus. 140 - David Bentley

Acceptance Levels • Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) • Customers may be willing to accept lots containing less than a specified % defects • Lot Tolerance Percent Defective (LTPD) • Upper limit of defects tolerated in accepted lots SJSU Bus. 140 - David Bentley
Type I and Type II Errors • Type I (producer’s risk) • Conclusion: non-randomness is present and the process is out of control • Action: stop the process which was OK • Reality: randomness is present and the process is in control • Type II (consumer’s risk) • Conclusion: randomness is present and the process is in control • Action: don’t stop the process; continue making defects • Reality: non-randomness is present and the process is out of control SJSU Bus. 140 - David Bentley
