Problem 18
Joshua Simms has recently been placed in charge of purchasing at the Med-Tech Labs, a medical testing laboratory. His job is to purchase testing equipment and supplies. Med-Tech currently has a contract with a reputable supplier in the industry. Joshua's job is to design an appropriate acceptance sampling plan for Med-Tech. The contract with the supplier states that the acceptable quality level is 1 percent defective. Also, the lot tolerance proportion defective is 4 percent, the producer's risk is 5 percent, and the consumer's risk is 10 percent.
Explanation / Answer
Develop an acceptance sampling plan for Joshua that meets the stated criteria.
The acceptance sampling plan here would be that of
Acceptable defective quality level = 1%
Lot tolerance defective prop = 4%
Producers risk = 5%
Consumers risk = 10%
Therefore total = 19% (4 + 5 + 10)
Now the sampling acceptance plan would be
1% of the 19% of the total lot tolerance i.e. 0.053% of the acceptance level would meet the states criteria.
