Reliability Acceptance Sampling Plans Based Upon Prior Distribution. Volume IV. Design of Testing Plans.

Abstract

Numerical and graphical procedures for the design of reliability acceptance sampling plans are developed in this report. The failure distribution is considered to be exponential with parameter theta and the prior distribution of theta is taken to be inverted gamma. These procedures are applicable when accept/reject decisions are to be made regarding a sequence of systems or lots. For specified combinations of producer-consumer risks, the numerical and the graphical procedures can be used for the design of a truncated single sample plan for a system. Other single sample plans can be obtained by using the equivalence relations derived in this report. The use and advantages of the graphical procedure are illustrated via numerical examples.
