Exercise IV

1. A supplier ships a component in lots of size N = 3000. The AQL has

been established for this product at 1%. Find the normal, tightened, and
reduced single sampling plans for this situation from, MIL-STD 105E,
assuming that general inspection level II is appropriate.

2. Repeat problem 1 numbers using general inspection level I. Discuss

the difference in the various sampling plans.

3. A product is supplied in lots of size N = 10,000” The AQL has been

specified at 0.1%. Find the normal, tightness, and reduced single-sampling
plans from MIL-STD 105E, assuming general inspection level II.

4. MIL-STD 105E is being used to inspect incoming lots of size N =

5000. Single sampling, general inspection level II, and an AQL of 0.65%
are being used.
i. Find the normal, tightened and reduced inspection plans.
ii. Draw the OC curves of the normal, tightened, and reduced
inspection plans on the same graph.

5. Using MIL-STD 105E, determine the single sampling plans for the
following information.

Inspection Level Inspection AQL Lot Size

II Tightened 1.5% 1,400
I Normal 65 115
III Reduced 0.40% 160,000
III Normal 2.5% 27

6. Using MIL-STD 105E, determine the double sampling plans for the
information below.

Inspection Level Inspection AQL Lot Size

I Normal 150 145
II Reduced 0.15% 1,150
II Tightened 2.5% 65
III Reduced 15 8,050
III Tightened 0.40% 24,000

7. Using MIL STD 105E, determine the multiple sampling plans for the
following information.

Inspection Level Inspection AQL Lot Size

III Tightened 0.25% 70
I Normal 0.25% 12,500
III Reduced 1.5% 3,400

8. Inspection results for the last 8 lots using the single sampling plan of n =
225, c = 3 are
I. 1 defective V. 3 defectives
II. 4 defectives VI. 0 defective
III. 5 defectives VII. 2 defectives
IV. 1 defective VIII. 2 defectives
If normal inspection was used for lot I, what inspection should be used for lot 1X?

9. Using the information from problem 8, what was the status after lot III? Lot
VII?

10. For a double sampling plan, code letter L, normal inspection, and AQL =
2.5%, the number inspected and the number defective for the last 10 lots are

n np n np
I 125 0 VI 125 1
II 125 2 VII 125 1
III 125 0 VIII 125 2
IV 250 6 IX 125 3
V 125 1 X 125 1

If production is at a steady rate and reduced inspection is authorized, can a change

from normal to reduced inspection be initiated?
