Double Acceptance Sampling Plan for Time Truncated Life Tests Based on Maxwell Distribution

SYNOPTIC ABSTRACT

In this article, we propose a double acceptance sampling plan based on the truncated life test for Maxwell distribution. By fixing the consumer’s confidence level, the minimum sample sizes of the first and second samples necessary to ensure the specified mean life are obtained. The operating characteristic values and the minimum ratios of the mean life to the specified life are also analyzed. Several useful tables are provided. We illustrate the double acceptance sampling plan with a numerical example.

Key Words and Phrases::

• double acceptance sampling plan
• operating characteristic function value
• producer’s risk
• truncated life test
• Maxwell distribution.
