Time-Truncated Group Plan under a Weibull Distribution based on Neutrosophic Statistics

Abstract

The aim of reducing the inspection cost and time using acceptance sampling can be achieved by utilizing the features of allocating more than one sample item to a single tester. Therefore, group acceptance sampling plans are occupying an important place in the literature because they have the above-mentioned facility. In this paper, the designing of a group acceptance sampling plan is considered to provide assurance on the product’s mean life. We design the proposed plan based on neutrosophic statistics under the assumption that the product’s lifetime follows a Weibull distribution. We determine the optimal parameters using two specified points on the operating characteristic curve. The discussion on how to implement the proposed plan is provided by an illustrative example.
