In modern manufacturing, ensuring product quality is paramount. One of the fundamental tools employed to maintain quality standards is sampling plans. These plans provide a systematic approach to inspecting a subset of items from a larger batch, allowing for efficient and reliable decision-making regarding the acceptability of the entire lot.
In this primer, we probe the essentials of sampling plans, their types, and the trade-offs between sampling and 100% inspection. Because of their ubiquitous use in manufacturing, we will more closely examine attribute sampling plans, including single, double, and multiple sampling plans, and their applicable industry standards.
