Economic reliability acceptance sampling plans from truncated life tests based on the Burr Type XII percentiles

Abstract

In this article, economic reliability acceptance sampling plan (ERASP) is developed for the Burr type XII distribution when the life test is truncated at pre-specified designed parameters. The minimum termination time is necessary to ensure that the specified life percentile is found under a given producer's risk. The operating characteristic values of the proposed plan are presented for various parameters. A comparative study of proposed plan and existing plan developed by Lio et al. (2010) is also discussed. The result is illustrated by a real dataset example.
