The Variable Lot‐Size Acceptance Sampling Plan for Continuous Production

In this article previously published acceptance sampling plans for continuous production are summarised and certain shortcomings pointed out. A new procedure is put forward in the Variable Lot‐Size Acceptance Sampling Plan, which combines the useful features of lot‐by‐lot plans with the flexibility of continuous plans. The advantages and general features of this plan are described, and a table is given which enables AOQL values to be calculated.
