We develop acceptance sampling plans assuming that the life test is truncated at a preassigned time. The lifetimes of the test units are assumed to follow the Birnbaum Saunders distribution. The minimum sample size necessary to ensure the specified average life is obtained and the operating characteristic values of the sampling plans and producer's risk are presented. An illustrative example is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
