Abstract
An explicit approximately optimal solution is derived for a minimum sample size artificial attribute sampling plan having specified producer and consumer risk points. Comparisons are made with solutions that have been obtained empirically. It is demonstrated that the approximate solution should be close enough to being optimal for it to be acceptable in most practical situations, even when the true optimal size is not particularly large.
