Multiple dependent state repetitive sampling plans for exponentiated half logistic distribution.

In the textile and packing industries, the lifetime of the items is exhibited by some statistical distribution. This paper aims to develop a multiple dependent state repetitive (MDSR) sampling plan by assuming that the lifetime of an item comes from an exponentiated half logistic distribution (EHLD). The MDSR sampling plan will be more economical than the other sampling plans on hand such as the multiple dependent state sampling schemes, the repetitive sampling plan, the single sampling plan, and the resubmitted sampling plan concerning the size of the sample required to test the lot. The design parameters for the developed sampling plans are obtained by minimizing the average sample number when both the consumer's and producer's risks are satisfied at corresponding quality levels. Tables are given for practical use. The proposed MDSR sampling plan is compared with the single sampling plan and some examples are also provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
