Abstract In this paper we provide a method of finding exact designs for single sample acceptance sampling plans. The method uses an algorithm that allows determination of plans based on the hypergeometric, binomial or Poisson distributions. Designs can be found for specified OC curves of either...

In this paper, we develop an expected cost model for a process whose mean is controlled by an X\bar chart and whose variance is controlled by an R chart. The expected cost comprises the fixed and variable costs of sampling, the cost of investigating and correcting the process when at least one...
