Effect of Inspection Error on MIL STD 105D Sampling Plans: Some Observations Available to Purchase

Inspection error has been and continues to be an important area of research particularly in statistical quality control. While considerable work has been reported on the effect of inspection error on different sampling plans and the implications thereof, very little seems to have been done to assess the effects of such errors on MIL STD 105D plans. In this article some aspects related to inspection errors and operation of MIL STD 105D plans have been studied. Based on this study some observations have been made which have led to the development of a few subtle practical guidelines that may prove helpful to the operating manager in administering such plans effectively.
