Indifference Functions For Price-Adjusted Acceptance Sampling

Pages 68-72 | Received 01 Sep 1986, Published online: 31 May 2007
 

Abstract

We present an approach for deriving indifference functions for use in implementing price-adjusted acceptance sampling plans. The key element underlying the application of PASS (Price Adjusted Single Sampling) methodology is an economic model of the ordering process that specifies the costs and benefits as functions of the amount of acceptable material received. The basic idea in deriving an indifference function is to adjust the price of the lot to compensate for departures from the planned amount of acceptable material received. Two simple scenarios are analyzed to illustrate the application of trie approach.
