Abstract
The choice among various possible types of acceptance inspection procedures is essentially an economic one. In making a decision regarding acceptance inspection for any particular purpose, it may be desirable to consider not only various possible systems or procedures of acceptance sampling by attributes but also the alternatives of (1) no inspection at all, but imposition of a requirement that statistical evidence of satisfactory quality be provided with each lot; (2) 100% inspection; and (3) possibilities of acceptance sampling by variables. It also is true that a satisfactory evaluation of all the pertinent economic factors is often quite difficult. For this reason, the choice of an acceptance procedure is commonly made on an intuitive basis. An important element of the selection of an acceptance inspection procedure should be the probable contribution of the procedure to quality improvement. The acceptance sampling systems and procedures described in this and the following chapters have often been strikingly successful in leading to such improvements.
