Abstract
In this article we have developed new method for designing sampling plans based on range of quality instead of pointwise description of quality by invoking a quality regions approach. Maximum allowable percent defective (MAPD) is also considered for the selection of parameters for a double sampling plan. New quality descriptors called operating ratios are introduced to design the sampling plan, and related information is provided. Illustrations are provided for ready-made use of the tables in shop-floor situations.
