Relevance of the Topic: The rapid emergence of retail store brands, private labels (PL), over the past decades has created new and stiff competition for many established manufacturers of national grocery brands (NB). Apart from sizeable market shares in many staple food categories, retailers...

Assuming a beta prior distribution on the fraction defective, <InlineEquation ID="IEq1"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$$p$$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, failure-censored sampling plans for Weibull lifetime models using classical (or average) and Bayesian (or posterior) producer’s and consumer’s risks are designed to determine the acceptability of lots of a given product....</equationsource></inlineequation>

Assuming that the probability of obtaining a defective unit in a production process, p, is not constant, a versatile methodology is presented for determining optimal failure-censored reliability sampling plans for log-location–scale lifetime models. The optimization procedure to decide the...

Progressive censoring is quite useful in many practical situations where budget constraints are in place or there is a demand for rapid testing. Balasooriya & Saw (1998) present reliability sampling plans for the two-parameter exponential distribution, based on progressively censored samples....
