Sampling is used in procurement, incoming inspections, audits, lot release
decisions etc. This seminar explains how sampling plans work (going beyond the
Acceptable Quality Level/Limit). We will see how sampling plans support confidence
statements on the quality of products being sampled. Finally we will see how you can
choose the optimum plan for your situation. Topics will include representative
sampling, AQL, RQL, LTPD, Confidence statements, consumers’ risk producers’ risk
and operating characteristic curves. The presentation will be informal with Q and A
throughout.
