GROUP ACCEPTANCE SAMPLING PLANS FOR LIFETIMES FOLLOWING EXPONENTIATED WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION

Abstract

A group acceptance sampling plan was created for the Exponentiated Weibull distribution, focusing on truncated lifetimes with a predetermined shape parameter. We determined the minimum number of groups needed for a specified group size and acceptance number, considering a set consumer risk and test termination time. The operating characteristic function values were computed for different quality levels, and we found the minimum ratios of actual average life to specified life at a given producer's risk. Tables illustrate these findings.
