Design of Multiple Dependent State Repetitive Group Sampling Plans Based on Exponentiated Exponential Distribution
Abstract
This article attempts to design a multiple dependent state repetitive group sampling plan under a hybrid censoring scheme by assuming that the lifetime of the product follows an exponentiated exponential distribution. Exponentiated exponential distribution, an alternative to Weibull and gamma distributions, has found applications in reliability and life testing. Also, an attempt is made to study the efficiency of this plan in comparison with a single sampling plan. The efficiencies of these two kinds of sampling plans are analyzed with respect to sample size and sampling risks. Plan parameters are obtained using binomial probabilities protecting the interests of both producers as well as consumers. The selection of a sampling plan for given requirements is illustrated with a numerical example.
