The so calledAOQL plans provide a means for disposition of productwhether or not the process is in control as well as incentives for process improvement in terms

In addition, so called LTPDplans are provided for use with individual lots of product, not necessarily associated with a processstream.The sampling plans and parts of the text given here are taken from the Wiley Classics Lib

Significance and Use4.1 Two

16、 general types of tables (Note 1) are given, onebased on the concept of lot tolerance, LTPD, and the other onAOQL. The broad conditions under which the different typeshave been found best adapted are indicated below.4.1.1 For each of the types, tables are provided both forsingle sampling and for dou

17、ble sampling. Each of the indi-vidual tables constitutes a collection of solutions to theproblem of minimizing the over-all amount of inspection.Because each line in the tables covers a range of lot sizes, theAOQL values in the LTPD tables and the LTPD values in theAOQL tables are often conservative

18、.NOTE 1Tables in Annex A1-Annex A4 and parts of the text arereproduced by permission of John R. Wiley and Sons. More extensivetables and discussion of the methods will be found in that text.4.2 The sampling tables based on lot quality protection(LTPD) (the tables in Annex A1 and Annex A2) are perhap

19、sbest adapted to conditions where interest centers on each lotseparately, for example, where the individual lot tends to retainits identity either from a shipment or a service standpoint.These tables have been found particularly useful in inspectionsmade by the ultimate consumer or a purchasing agen

20、t for lotsor shipments purchased more or less intermittently.4.3 The sampling tables based on average quality protection(AOQL) (the tables in Annex A3 and Annex A4) are especiallyadapted for use where interest centers on the average quality ofproduct after inspection rather than on the quality of ea

21、chindividual lot and where inspection is, therefore, intended toserve, if necessary, as a partial screen for defective pieces. Thelatter point of view has been found particularly helpful, forexample, in consumer inspections of continuing purchases oflarge quantities of a product and in manufacturing

22、 processinspections of parts where the inspection lots tend to lose theiridentity by merger in a common storeroom from whichquantities are withdrawn on order as needed.4.4 The plans based on average quality protection (AOQL)consider the degree to which the entire inspection procedurescreens out defe

23、ctives in the product submitted to the inspector.Lots accepted by sample undergo a partial screening throughthe elimination of defectives found in samples. Lots that fail tobe accepted by sample are completely cleared of defectives.Obviously, this requires a nondestructive test. The over-allresult i

24、s some average percent defective in the product as itleaves the inspector, termed the average outgoing quality,which depends on the level of percent defective for incomingproduct and the proportion of total defectives that are screenedout.4.5 Given a specific problem of replacing a 100 % screeningin

25、spection by a sampling inspection, the first step is to decideon the type of protection desired, to select the desired limit ofpercent defective lot tolerance (LTPD) or AOQL value for thattype of protection, and to choose between single and doublesampling. This results in the selection of one of the

26、 appendedtables. The second step is to determine whether the quality ofproduct is good enough to warrant the introduction of sam-pling. The economies of sampling will be realized, of course,only insofar as the percent defective in submitted product issuch that the acceptance criteria of the selected

27、 sampling planwill be met. A statistical analysis of past inspection resultsshould first be made, therefore, in order to determine existinglevels and fluctuations in the percent defective for the charac-teristic or the group of characteristics under consideration. Thisprovides information with respe

28、ct to the degree of control aswell as the usual level of percent defective to be expectedunder existing conditions. Determine a value from this andother information for the process average percent defectivethat should be used in applying the selected sampling table, ifsampling is to be introduced.5.

29、 Procedure5.1 Two distinct methods of inspection are employed, singlesampling and double sampling. In single sampling only onesample is permitted before a decision is reached regarding thedisposition of the lot, and the acceptance criterion is expressedas an acceptance number, c. In double sampling,

30、 a secondsample is permitted and two acceptance numbers are used; thefirst, c1, applying to the observed number of defectives for thefirst sample alone and the second, c2, applying to the observednumber of defectives for the first and second samples com-bined. The specific procedures assumed in the

31、development ofthe tables are as follows:5.1.1 Single Sampling Inspection Procedure:5.1.1.1 Inspect a sample of n pieces.5.1.1.2 If the number of defectives found in the sample doesnot exceed c, the acceptance number, accept the lot.5.1.1.3 If the number of defectives found in the sampleexceeds c, in

32、spect all the pieces in the remainder of the lot.5.1.1.4 Regardless of whether or not the lot was accepted,correct or replace all defective pieces found in the sample aswell as in any subsequent inspection of the remainder of thelot.5.1.2 Double Sampling Inspection Procedure:5.1.2.1 Inspect a first

33、sample of n1pieces.5.1.2.2 If the number of defectives found in the first sampledoes not exceed c1, the acceptance number for the first sample,accept the lot.5.1.2.3 If the number of defectives found in the first sampleexceeds c2, the acceptance number for the combined first andsecond samples, inspe

34、ct all the pieces in the remainder of thelot.5.1.2.4 If the number of defectives found in the first sampleexceeds c1, but does not exceed c2, inspect a second sample ofn2pieces.5.1.2.5 If the total number of defectives found in the firstand second samples combined does not exceed c2, accept thelot.5

35、.1.2.6 If the total number of defectives found in the firstand second samples combined exceeds c2, inspect all the piecesin the remainder of the lot.5.1.2.7 Regardless of whether or not the lot was accepted,correct or replace all defective pieces found in either sample aswell as any in subsequent in

36、spection or the remainder of thelot.E 1994 98 (2003)25.2 In choosing a sampling plan for a particular application,a number of decisions must be made which depend on theconditions under which the plan is to be used. The accompa-nying Sequence of Steps gives an outline of a typical proce-dure. These s

37、teps are shown in the following numberedparagraphs.5.3 Sequence of Steps:5.3.1 Decide what characteristics will be included in theinspection.5.3.1.1 If advantageous, use a separate sampling plan for asingle characteristic or selected group of characteristics of likeimportance. Sampling need not wait

38、 until all characteristicshave good quality.5.3.1.2 If one or two characteristics give an outstandinglyhigh number of defective units, treat them separately (using100 percent inspection; also, if possible, concentrate on cor-recting the causes of trouble) and include the rest collectivelyin the samp

39、ling inspection.5.3.1.3 If all characteristics have satisfactory quality, in-clude all of them collectively in the sampling inspection.5.3.1.4 In general, combine at one inspection station char-acteristics subject to essentially similar inspection operations,for example, all visual inspection items

40、together, all gauging,or all testing. Visual and gauging inspection operations oftencombine well.5.3.1.5 Include in any group characteristics of essentiallythe same degree of seriousness. If two degrees of seriousnessare involved, say major and minor, keep all majors together inone group and all min

41、ors in a second group.5.3.1.6 Consider these plans applicable to all basic types ofinspection for manufactured products receiving, process, andfinal and to the inspection of administrative and clericalproducts as in paper-work quality control.5.3.2 Decide what is to constitute a lot for purposes ofs

42、ampling inspection.5.3.2.1 So far as practicable, require that individual lotspresented for acceptance comprise essentially homogeneousmaterial from a common source.5.3.2.2 If presented material comes from two or more directsources not under a common system of control, arrange to haveeach presented

43、lot comprise material from only one of thosesources; otherwise have source identification information fur-nished with each lot.5.3.2.3 To minimize the amount of inspection, make the lotsas large as practicable, considering the limitations of availablestorage space, delays in shipment, difficulty in

44、handling largerejected lots, etc.5.3.3 Choose between lot quality (LTPD) and averageoutgoing quality (AOQL) protection.5.3.3.1 ChooseAOQLif interest centers on the general levelof quality of product after inspection. AOQL plans have beenfound generally more useful than LTPD plans in inspections ofa

45、continuing supply of product, especially in consumersacceptance inspections and in producers receiving, process,and final inspections.5.3.3.2 Choose AOQL for a percent defective that willalmost always be safely met by the running average quality ofproduct after inspection.5.3.3.3 Choose LTPD for a p

46、ercent defective that willalmost always be met by each lot. (This will be a much morepessimistic figure than the AOQL value of the plan).5.3.3.4 As a manufacturer trying to meet a consumersstated AQL (Note 2), use for final inspection an AOQL planwith anAOQL value equal to the specifiedAQL value, in

47、 orderto provide good assurance that outgoing quality will be foundacceptable by the consumer (or set the AOQL at one and onethird times the AQL for reasonably good assurance).NOTE 2AQL = Acceptable Quality Level, as used to index certainsystems of sampling plans, signifying what the consumer feels

48、to be themaximum percent defective that, for sampling purposes, can be consid-ered satisfactory as a process average.5.3.3.5 When producer and consumer of a product are twodepartments of the same company, use AOQL plans with theprovision that the producer perform the 100 percent inspectionof rejecte

49、d lots. Close interchange of quality findings willexpedite good process control of quality.5.3.3.6 Wherever practicable, make arrangements for theproducer to perform the 100 percent inspection of rejected lotsunder procedures acceptable to the consumer and to providesuitable certifications of work performed.5.3.4 Choose a suitable figure of quality (LTPD or AOQL)for the sampling plan5.3.4.1 For LTPD, choose the value of percent defective forlot acceptance not more than 10 % of the time (that is, reject atleast 90 % of the time).5.3.4.2 For AOQL, choose the value of avera
