Abstract:
This paper explores the problem of minimizing the average total inspection (ATI) of Read & Beattie's variable lot-size sampling plan for continuous production. The solution procedure is developed to find the optimal parameters (n,? c) that will meet the average outgoing quality limit (AOQL) requirement, while also minimizing the ATI for this variable lot-size plan.
