Defining<br />
m = m 1 + m 2 + .... + m r ; ρ i = m i /m, we write,<br />
r∏<br />
Slope j (m) = g(x j , mρ j ) G(c i , mρ i )<br />

We have shown that for a given set of ρ i , the function H(m) = Slope i (m) − Slope i+1 (m)<br />
i = 1, 2, ..., r − 1 undergoes atmost one change of sign from positive to negative for m ≥<br />
0; i = 1, 2, ..., r − 1. Further, for ρ i+1 /ρ i > c i+1 /c i , there is exactly one real positive root for<br />
H(m) = 0.<br />
If we now set ρ i+1 /ρ i = AQL i+1 /AQL i and try to ensure a reasonable producer’s risk, the<br />
inequality, ρ i+1 /ρ i > AQL i+1 /AQL i is found to be a reasonable assumption to be usually<br />
satisfied. It, therefore, follows that in such a case, the plan will fail to satisfy the condition<br />
Slope i (m) ≥ Slope i+1 (m) for all m > 0. We conclude that in general there is no good C<br />
kind plan in the sense defined as above.<br />
For r = 3, we have further constructed the <strong>sampling</strong> <strong>plans</strong> taking all 286 possible ordered<br />
triplets of n.AQL values and possible n and c values as tabulated in the MIL-STD-105D<br />
table. We find that the producer’s risk varies from 3.6% to 34.2%. There are 103 <strong>plans</strong> with<br />
producer’s risk more than 16 % and there are only 34 <strong>plans</strong> with producer’s risk less than<br />
or equal to 6%.<br />
Further, there are 183 <strong>plans</strong> which do not always satisfy the condition of higher absolute<br />
slope of the OC for more serious type of attribute defect associated with lower value of AQL,<br />
as compared to the slope of OC for the attribute associated with higher value of AQL, in<br />
the range of p ( p = p 1 + p 2 + p 3 , p 1 : p 2 : p 3 = AQL 1 : AQL 2 : AQL 3 ), from p = 0<br />
to the limiting quality, defined as the value of process average for which the probability of<br />
<strong>acceptance</strong> is around 0.10.<br />
We have, therefore, introduced in this chapter a <strong>sampling</strong> scheme consisting of <strong>plans</strong> with<br />
alternative <strong>acceptance</strong> criteria : accept if x 1 ≤ a 1 ; x 1 + x 2 ≤ a 2 ; ...; x 1 + x 2 + .. + x r ≤ a r ;<br />
reject otherwise. We call this plan an MASSP of A kind. We prove that −P A ′ i ≥ −P A ′ i+1<br />
for i = 1, 2, .., r − 1 where PA denotes the probability of <strong>acceptance</strong> for the plan at a given<br />
process average and −P A ′ i is the absolute value of the slope of the OC function w.r.t m i at<br />
a given m = m 1 + m 2 + ... + m r , assuming m i /m fixed, i = 1, 2, ..., r.<br />
The above property of the A kind MASSP’s, therefore, allows us to order the attributes<br />
