Abstract

Assume that a lower bound is known for the probability that the fraction defective of incoming lots does not exceed a certain level. Sampling plans which incorporate this information have been developed by Krumbholz and Schröder. Taking a linear cost model, the range of the gains that may be achieved using these plans instead of the minimax sampling plan is discussed. Some technical results concerning existence and uniqueness of sampling plans based on incomplete prior information are proved.
