Acceptance sampling plans from truncated life tests based on the Burr type XII percentiles

In this article, acceptance sampling plans are developed for the Burr type XII distribution percentiles when the life test is truncated at a pre-specified time. The minimum sample size necessary to ensure the specified life percentile is obtained under a given customer's risk. The operating characteristic values (tables) of the sampling plans as well as producer's risk are presented. The R package named spBurr is developed to implement the sampling plans. Two real datasets regarding the oil breakdown of an insulating fluid under high test voltage and the first failure times of small electric carts used for internal transportation and delivery are given as illustration.
