... scheme for the CWE distribution are developed by using both the producer's risk and the consumer's risk. Findings In this study, optimum sample size, optimum number of groups and acceptance number are obtained under the Type-I censored scheme for the CWE distribution. Real data set illustration...

..., namely consumers’ and producer’s risks, are considered. Currently, the GChSP only considers the consumer's risk (CR), which means the current plan only protects the consumer not the producer since it does not take into account the producer's risk (PR) at all. Design/methodology/approach There are six...

... test is truncated at a pre-determined time. The minimum sample sizes required to assert the specified life mean is obtained for a given customer’s risk. The operating characteristic function values of the sampling plans and producer’s risk are calculated. Design/methodology/approach The results...

...) is used to find the plan parameter of the proposed plan for specified values of consumer's risk, producer's risk, acceptance number, number of testers and experiment time. Findings Tables are constructed using the Poisson and the weighted Poisson distribution. Extensive tables are provided...
