Resumen
MIRABI, Mohammad y FALLAHNEZHAD, Mohammad Saber. Analysing acceptance sampling plans by Markov chains. S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2012, vol.23, n.1, pp.151-161. ISSN 2224-7890.
In this research, a Markov analysis of acceptance sampling plans in a single stage and in two stages is proposed, based on the quality of the items inspected. In a stage of this policy, if the number of defective items in a sample of inspected items is more than the upper threshold, the batch is rejected. However, the batch is accepted if the number of defective items is less than the lower threshold. Nonetheless, when the number of defective items falls between the upper and lower thresholds, the decision-making process continues to inspect the items and collect further samples. The primary objective is to determine the optimal values of the upper and lower thresholds using a Markov process to minimise the total cost associated with a batch acceptance policy. A solution method is presented, along with a numerical demonstration of the application of the proposed methodology.
