This paper examines the economic performance of CSP-1, under specified outgoing quality limit (AOQL) and a realistic assumption of linearly variable acceptance cost. A mathematical programming model is developed to determine the unique combination of the plan's parameters (i*, f*) for which minimum total cost, per item produced, is achieved. Extended sensitivity analysis explores the behavior of the proposed model and validates its satisfying adaptation to real quality control conditions.
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.
