Acceptance Sampling

Definition
The Statistical Sampling Procedure to answer questions such as (i) are the suppliers good to be accepted or rejected. (ii) If accepted then what kind of risk do we incur in terms of bad quality.

Why is it not possible to check all items?


The cost of 100 % inspection is not possible. 100 % inspection does not insure 100 % quality.
