The minimum sample size necessary to ensure the specified life percentile is obtained under a given customer¡¯s risk. The operating characteristic values (and curves) of the sampling plans as well as the producer¡¯s risk are presented. Two examples with real data sets are also given as illustration %K Acceptance sampling %K Consumer¡¯s risk %K Operating characteristic function %K Producer¡¯s risk %K Truncated life tests %K producer¡¯s risk. %U http://siba-ese.unisalento.it/index.php/ejasa/article/view/11301
