| Abstract: | A production process is assumed to produce k types of items in varying proportions and with varying defect rates. This paper proposes a sequential inspection plan which allows one to optimally allocate inspection resources so that one obtains a good estimate of average quality. The plan is fairly easy to put into practice and allows for easy modification should production characteristics change. |
