REPETITIVE ACCEPTANCE SAMPLING PLAN FOR LIFETIMES FOLLOWING A SKEW-GENERALIZED INVERSE WEIBULL DISTRIBUTION

ABSTRACT In this paper, we consider a skew-generalized inverse Weibull probability distribution for repetitive acceptance sampling plans based on truncated life tests with known shape parameter. The design parameters such as sample size and acceptance numbers are evaluated by considering the median life time of the test units as a quality parameter under the constraint of two risks, known as the producer’s risk and consumer’s risk at a certain level. We explained the proposed method with the help of tables for different values of the known parameter. The skew-generalized inverse Weibull distribution fits better a real data set considered than the generalized inverse Weibull distribution. Comparison between the proposed plan and the single sampling plan is presented.
