Multiple dependent repetitive group sampling plan for Marshall-Olkin logistic-exponential distribution assuring percentile lifetime with applications

Acceptance sampling plans are commonly utilized for planning, process control, and implementation of industrial data sets. In addition to this, they also provide a solution for process quality control. They could be used for executing a decision for acceptance or rejection of a lot. A good acceptance sampling plan can be formulated depending on the requirements of the project. Usually, the plan should follow a defined lifetime distribution. Hence, the appropriate plan would not only determine the plan parameters but would also be cost and time efficient. In this article, an attribute multiple dependent repetitive group sampling (MDRGS) plan is developed assuming that the lifetime of the product follows the Marshall-Olkin logistic-exponential (MOLE) distribution. The parameters of plan are examined by considering a two-point approach. The suggested plan is contrasted with the single sampling and repeated group sampling plans. Finally, the implementation of the proposed plan is discussed using industrial as well as simulated data sets. It is concluded that the proposed plan reduces the sampling inspection cost and time as compared to existing acceptance sampling plans.
