Abstract

Abstract: Group and conditional sampling methods have been recently developed to apply in industrial environments. Based on the combination of two group and conditional schemes, this article introduces a group multiple dependent state sampling plan for a truncated life test when the lifetime of item follows the Weibull distribution. The proposed plan can be applied when the quality history of process is accessible and a multiple number of items are installed as a group in each tester. The proposed plan has merits which are illustrated via a comparative study over the existing group acceptance sampling plan. Furthermore, a real example is provided.
