Economic Design of CSP-1 Plan Under the Dependent Production Process and Linear Inspection Cost.

Chen and Chou presented the economic design of type I continuous sampling plan (CSP-1 plan) under the linear inspection cost. However, it can be argued that the production process is seldom independent. In this paper, we further propose the problem concerning the economic design of CSP-1 plan under the dependent production process and linear inspection cost. A solution procedure is developed to find the unique combination (i*, f*) that will meet the average outgoing quality limit (AOQL) requirement while also minimizing the total expected cost per unit produced during one inspection cycle.
