SQC 111 - Acceptance Sampling and Reliability


A study of acceptance sampling techniques for attributes and reliability analysis.  Operating characteristic curves, lot-by-lot acceptance plans based on LTPD, AOQL and AQL, sequential sampling, continuous sampling.  Introduction to exponential, log-normal, and Weibull distributions, failure rate, MTBF, MTTF, mean life, probability of survival for series, parallel, and complex systems, basics of life testing.
