ISBN 0-9635122-0-X
By: Dr. Wayne A. Taylor

Book Objective

This book shows how to reduce costs and improve the effectiveness of acceptance sampling. It also serves as a basic introduction to acceptance sampling. The book is intended for the practitioner. It avoids complex mathematical formulas. Instead extensive tables and powerful software are provided.

This book focuses on the core methods that are in common use. It also covers such practical issues as how to select samples, form lots, and where to place inspections. Further, the role of acceptance sampling in today's modern world is explored in detail.

Book Outline

Introduction

Evaluating Single Sampling Plans

Selecting Single Sampling Plans

Economical Single Sampling Plans

Practical Considerations

Double Sampling Plans

Quick Switching Systems

Mil-Std-105E (While Mil-Std-105E has been cancelled, this chapter still applies to ANSI Z1.4)

Variables Sampling Plans

Intended Audience

This book is designed for those individuals who select sampling plans and set sampling policy. This includes engineers, manufacturing and quality supervisors, and management.

No statistical background is required. As such, the text serves as an excellent introduction to acceptance sampling. It also includes important new material of interest to the expert including quick switching systems.

Comprehensive Tables

This book includes comprehensive tables of single sampling plans, double sampling plans, quick switching systems, and variable sampling plans all indexed using a common system. This makes it easy to select alternative double sampling plans, quick switching systems and variable sampling plans.

Accompanying Software

This book comes with the sampling programs disk with a comprehensive set of programs for selecting and evaluating different types of sampling plans. For those in the medical industries, this software is validated. The software can be found inside the back cover of the book.

Important Advance

This book introduces an important new method called quick switching systems. Quick switching systems can reduce sampling costs by as much as 85% or provide equally dramatic improvements in protection. They also serve as a valuable tool for monitoring processes. Quick switching systems replace chain sampling plans and the switching system in Mil-Std-105E.
