Design of a Quick Switching Sampling System Based on the Coefficient of Variation

Abstract

In this research, a quick switching sampling (QSS) system based on the coefficient of variation (CV) is developed, which utilizes information from present and previous lots to make a decision about the submitted lot of product. The design parameters of the proposed plan are determined through a non-linear optimization solution. In addition, the performance of the proposed plan is compared with plans available in the literature in terms of sample size. Finally, one example is given to illustrate the proposed plan.
