A comprehensive review on economic reliability test plan for various life time distributions

Abstract

The present review critically examines Economic Reliability test plans, with particular attention to the statistical distributions commonly applied in assessing product reliability. It traces the historical development of reliability testing methods and highlights the key contributions of researchers who have shaped the field. Recent advancements are also discussed, including the introduction of new acceptance sampling strategies based on truncated life tests for a variety of distributions. By comparing different methodologies and their practical applications, this review evaluates both their effectiveness and their economic implications. The findings aim to provide researchers and industry professionals with a consolidated understanding of the current state of economic reliability test plans, while also identifying potential directions for future research.
