Time truncated acceptance sampling plans for Generalized Inverse Weibull Distribution

Abstract

Acceptance sampling plans for a Generalized Inverse Weibull Distribution (GIWD) when the lifetime is truncated at a pre-determined time are suggested in this paper. The minimum sample sizes necessary to ensure the specified mean life time for a given consumer's risk are obtained. The operating characteristic function (OC) values of the developed sampling plans as well as the associated producer's risk are obtained. The ratio of the actual average life to a specified average life that asserts acceptance with a pre-determined probability is presented.
