use of defective item is additive over all the characterstics. This means if an item contains<br />

more than one defect say for i = 1 and 2 the loss will be the sum of the damages for both<br />

the characterstics put together. The assumption is reasonably valid under many situations.<br />

However, proportion of items containing more than one category of defects will usually be<br />

small.<br />

Costs of rejection consists of a part (N − n)R 0 proportional to the number of items in<br />

r∑<br />

the remainder of the lot and another part, (X i − x i )R i proportional to the number of<br />

i=1<br />

defective items rejected for all the attribute put together. If rejection means sorting, R 0<br />

will give the sorting cost /item for all category of defects put together. The R i denotes the<br />

additional cost for items found with defective of i th category ( for example, cost of repair)<br />

and is additive over different category of defects.<br />

Note that there is only one sample of size n to be taken for inspection for all the characteristics<br />

and the cost model given here is only a multiattribute analogue of the cost model<br />

considered by Hald (1965) in the case of a single attribute.<br />

The average costs<br />

A) When defect occurrences are independent.<br />

In this case the probability of getting x i defectives in a sample of size n from a lot of size<br />

N containing X i defectives, for the i th attribute, i = 1, 2, ..., r,is given by hypergeometric<br />

probability as<br />
