Abstract
Solutions to quality control by lot sampling through the game theory approach are presented, and the results are compared with those obtained by the classical statistical method. Single and double plans are considered and modeled as two-person zero-sum games, and optimal solutions are found. Most of the solutions are reminiscent of known statistical results and reinforce them by adding new features.
