A Concise Review of Lot-by-Lot Acceptance Sampling by Attributes

This chapter purports to offer some insight into lot-by-lot acceptance sampling by attributes, which is one of the common types of acceptance sampling. When using such a sampling plan, a sample of a predetermined number of items is taken from each submitted lot and inspected by attributes. With the information from the inspected sample, a decision of acceptance or rejection of the submitted lot can be made. The basic ideas of these sampling plans are introduced first and the various versions of each sampling plan are then discussed. Optimization models and methods for determining optimal parameters for each plan are presented. The review is supplemented by reference to the appropriate publications in the literature.
