Abstract
Designing of acceptance sampling plans based on operating characteristics fail to prescribe the corrective action for rejected lots although they guarantee the producer’s and the consumer’s protection at their corresponding quality levels. But, rectification sampling inspection plan suggests 100% inspection for rejected lots and hence, the producer’s risk is reduced and also there is a guarantee to the consumer by restricting upper limit of the maximum expected proportion of non-conforming of the shipping lot. Although the variables single sampling plan for rectifying inspection is available, variables double sampling inspection plan under rectifying inspection has not yet been designed. Hence, in this paper, we design a variables double sampling plan for rectifying inspection indexed by acceptable quality level and average outgoing quality limit to meet the needs of the producer as well as the consumer. A non-linear optimization problem is developed to determine the optimal parameters with minimum average sample number at acceptable quality level for both cases of standard deviation are known and unknown. We investigate the validation and limitation of the proposed plan through the simulation study and industrial application of the proposed plan is also given. It can be confirmed from the investigations on the results that in many situations, variables double sampling plan designed under rectifying inspection is more economical than variables single sampling plan designed with the same conditions in providing the same protection to consumer.
