A hybrid group acceptance sampling plan for lifetimes based on transmuted exponential distribution

Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed a hybrid group acceptance sampling plan (HGASP) for a truncated life test when the lifetime of an item follows transmuted exponential distribution. The minimum number of testers and acceptance number are determined when the consumer’s risk and the test termination time and group size are specified. The operating characteristic values according to various quality levels are obtained. The minimum ratios of the true median and specified median for the given producer’s risk are also determined. The results are discussed through an example, comparative study of proposed sampling plan with existing sampling plan are explained.
