Acceptance Sampling Webinar What you will learn The purpose of Sampling How to draw a statistically valid Sample How to Develop a Sampling Plan How to construct an O-C curve for your sampling plan How to use (and understand) ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 How to use ANSI/ASQ Z1.9 Assessing Inspection Economics Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar What is Sampling Sampling refers to the practice of evaluating (inspecting) a portion -the sample - of a lot – the population – for the purpose of inferring information about the lot. Statistically speaking, the properties of the sample distribution are used to infer the properties of the population (lot) distribution. An accept/reject decision is normally made based on the results of the sample Sampling is an Audit practice Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar Why Sample? Economy Less inspection labor Less time Less handling damage Provides check on process control Fewer errors ??? i.e. inspection accuracy Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
What does Sampling not do? Does not provide detailed information of lot quality Does not provide judgment of fitness for use (of rejected items) Does not guarantee elimination of defectives – any AQL permits defectives Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar Sampling Caveats Size of sample is more important than percentage of lot Only random samples are statistically valid Access to samples does not guarantee randomness Acceptance sampling can place focus on wrong place Supplier should provide evidence of quality Focus should be on process control Misuse of sampling plans can be costly and misleading. No such thing as a single representative sample Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Representative Sample? There is no such thing as a single representative sample Why? Draw repeated samples of 5 from a normally distributed population. Record the X-bar (mean) and s (std.dev) for each sample What is the result? Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar Distribution of Means The Distribution of Means obeys normal distribution – regardless of distribution of parent population. Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Standard Error of the Mean Central Limit Theorem The relationship of the standard deviation of sample means to the standard deviation of the population Note: For a uniform distribution, Underestimates error by 25% with n=2, but only by 5% with n=6 Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar The Random Sample At any one time, each of the remaining items in the population has an equal chance of being the next item selected One method is to use a table of Random Numbers (handout from Grant & Leavenworth) Enter the table Randomly ( like pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey) Proceed in a predetermined direction – up, down, across Discard numbers which cannot be applied to the sample Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar Random Number Table Source: Statistical Quality Control by Grant & Leavenworth Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar Stratified Sampling Random samples are selected from a “homogeneous lot”. Often, the parts may not be homogeneous because they were produced on different machines, by different operators, in different plants, etc. With stratified sampling, random samples are drawn from each “group” of processes that are different from other groups. Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar Selecting the Sample Wrong way to select sample Judgement: often leads to Bias Convenience Right ways to select sample Randomly Systematically: e.g. every nth unit; risk of bias occurs when selection routine matches a process pattern Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129

Acceptance Sampling Webinar The Typical O-C Curve Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar Sampling Terms AQL – Acceptable Quality Level: The worst quality level that can be considered acceptable. Acceptance Number: the largest number of defective units permitted in the sample to accept a lot – usually designated as “Ac” or “c” AOQ – Average Outgoing Quality: The expected quality of outgoing product, after sampling, for a given value of percent defective in the incoming product. AOQ = p * Pa Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar Sampling Terms (cont.) AOQL – Average Outgoing Quality Level: For a given O-C curve, the maximum value of AOQ. Rejection Number – smallest number of defective units in the sample which will cause the lot to be rejected – usually designated as “Re” Sample Size – number of items in sample – usually designated by “n” Lot Size – number of items in the lot (population) – usually designated by “N” Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
Acceptance Sampling Webinar Sampling Risks Producers Risk – α: calling the population bad when it is good; also called Type I error Consumers Risk – β: calling the population good when it is bad; also called Type II error Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129

Constructing the O-C curve We will do the following O-C curves Use Hyper-geometric and Poisson for each of the following N=60, n=6, Ac = 2 N=200, n=20, Ac = 2 N=1000, n=100, Ac = 2 N=1000, n=6, Ac = 2 Let’s do k (Ac, c - # of successes) = 0 first Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129

Sampling is done without replacement. Acceptance Sampling Webinar 20101129
