Hybrid Group Acceptance Sampling Plan Based on Size Biased Lomax Model

摘要

In this paper, a hybrid group acceptance sampling plan is introduced for a truncated life test if life times of the items follow size biased Lomax model. The minimum number of testers and acceptance number are obtained when the consumer’s risk and the test termination time and group size are pre-specified. The operating characteristic values, minimum ratios of the true mean life to the specified mean life for the given producer’s risk are also derived. The results are discussed through an example, a comparative study of proposed sampling plan with existing sampling plan are elaborated.
