In this paper we proposed a dynamic programming procedure to develop an optimal sequential sampling plan. A suitable cost model is employed for depicting the cost of sampling, accepting or rejecting the lot. This model is based on sequential approach. A sequential iterative approach is used for modeling the cost of different decisions in each stage. In addition a backward recursive algorithm is developed to solve the dynamic programming. On the other hand, the purpose of this paper is to introduce a new sequential acceptance sampling plan based on dynamic programming. At the end of this paper a numerical example is solved to show how this model works and then sensitivity analyses of main parameters of acceptance sampling model are carried out.
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.
