The Dodge CSP-1 Continuous Sampling Plan Under Inspection Error1

Abstract This paper examines the results of Dodge's CSP-1 continuous sampling plan under inspection error. Both type I and II errors are explicitly included. Their effect on the average number of items inspected in a 100% screening sequence, average number of items passed during sampling inspection, average fraction of items inspected, proportion of items passed under sampling, and average outgoing quality are examined. Further, the relationships necessary to determine compensating sampling plans, considering inspection error, which yield the desired actual AOQL, are developed. Use of the compensating plan method is illustrated through an example.
