Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the single sampling attribute plan for given acceptance quality level (AQL) and limiting quality level (LQL) involving minimum sum of risks using weighted Poisson distribution. Design/methodology/approach – For the given AQL and LQL, sum of...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present the optimal double sampling attribute plan using the weighted Poisson distribution. Design/methodology/approach – For the given AQL and LQL, sum of producer’s and consumer’s risks have been attained. Based on the weighted Poisson...
