(f) The number of defectives X 1 , X 2 , ..., X r in the lot are independently distributed.<br />

(g) The number of defectives, x 1 , x 2 , ..., x r in the sample are independently distributed.<br />

Comparison is made (on specific cases) between the optimal <strong>plans</strong> constructed under (i)<br />

assumption of approximate continuous distribution of lot quality and (ii) assumption of discrete<br />

prior distribution of lot quality consistent with the resulting continuous distribution of<br />

process average. All computations are made using a search algorithm.<br />

ii) Moskowitz, Plante, Tang and Ravindran(1984)<br />

In this model the authors introduced the concept of multiattribute utility theory into quality<br />

control <strong>acceptance</strong> schemes and developed a general multiattribute <strong>sampling</strong> scheme. They<br />

used the criterion of maximizing the total utility. The process averages are considered as<br />

independently distributed beta variable. The cost model considered is general.<br />

iii) Tang, Plante and Moskowitz (1986)<br />

The basic tenets of this model are :<br />

(a) There are two classes of attributes viz. scrappable and screenable.<br />

(b) For the rejection due to scrappable defects, the cost of rejection is proportional to the<br />

lot sizes irrespective of number of defects present in the remainder of the lot.<br />

(c) For rejection due to screenable defects, the cost of rejection is proportional to the number<br />

of items screened (inspected) and no fixed cost is incurred.<br />

(d) Whenever a lot is rejected due to a scrappable defect, the remainder of the lot is not at<br />

all inspected for any other attribute(s), scrappable or screenable.<br />

(e) In the event the lot is not rejected on scrappable attribute(s) but on screenable attributes(s),<br />

the lot is not tested for scrappable attribute(s) at all.<br />

(f) Effectively, the number of defects observed on any member of the screenable set of attributes<br />

does not affect the decision (or the cost) in case the number of defects on any<br />

member of the scrappable set violates the <strong>acceptance</strong> criteria. Only when all the members<br />

of the scrappable set satisfy the <strong>acceptance</strong> criteria, the observations on any member of<br />

screenable set may affect the decision.<br />

(g) The random variables X 1 , X 2 , ..., X r are independently distributed.<br />

(h) The random variables x 1 , x 2 , ..., x r are independently distributed.<br />

(i) Sampling <strong>plans</strong> for screenable attributes can be obtained by solving a set of independent<br />

single attributes models.<br />
