Abstract :
In this study, a double acceptance sampling plan is developed for cost optimization with the constraints. The good and bad item scheme is mainly considered, which totally depends on the sampling plan. The purpose of this paper is to design an economic acceptance sampling plan to obtain optimal total cost on the basis of average total inspection (ATI). In double acceptance sampling plan, we overcome the drawback of single acceptance sampling plan, when we fail to make a decision on the basis of SASP. The total cost is analyzed according to various parameters like OC, AOQ, ASN and ATI. A mathematical model has been developed to find minimum total cost with consideration of various cost (inspection cost, failure cost and post-sale failure cost) and provides a protection both the producer’s and consumer’s risk. The results are explained with different tables and graphs.
