Abstract

Acceptance sampling approach is helpful in reducing the cost and time of the inspection of a submitted product. In this modern era, the reliability of the products is very high. The experimenters may wait a long time to record the required numbers of failures. Therefore, the time truncated life tests in sampling plans are used to reach a decision quickly. In time truncated life tests, the number of failures and time of the experiment are fixed. In this chapter, we will focus on acceptance sampling plans under truncated life tests.
