Email this article Economic Reliability Group Acceptance Sampling Plans for Lifetimes Following a Generalized Exponential Distribution
Abstract
Economic reliability test plan (ERTP) is developed considering that the lifetime of the submitted items follow generalized exponential distribution. For a given group size, specified acceptance number and producer’s risk, test termination time is determined. Comparison of the proposed plan has been made with the existing plan developed by Rao [17]. Tables and examples illustrate the approach developed in the paper.
