A group acceptance sampling plans based on truncated life tests for marshall - Olkin extended Lomax distribution

In this paper, a group acceptance sampling plan is developed for a truncated life test when the lifetime of an item follows Marshall- Olkin extended Lomax distribution. The minimum number of groups required for a given group size and the acceptance number is determined when the consumer's risk and the test termination time are specified. The operating characteristic values according to various quality levels are found and the minimum ratios of the true average life to the specified life at the specified producer's risk are obtained. The results are explained with examples.
