Selection of three stage chain sampling plan of type (0, 1, 3) with repetitive group sampling plan indexed through quality regions

Acceptance sampling procedures are practical tools for quality assurance applications involving product control. In this article we have developed new method for designing sampling plans based on range of quality instead of pointwise description of quality by invoking a quality regions approach. The Quality Decision Region proposes wider potential applicability in industry ensuring a higher standard of quality attainment for a product. This paper provides a selection of chain sampling plan of type (0,1,3) with Repetitive Group Sampling plan indexed through quality regions. Tables are constructed by considering the various combinations of acceptable and limiting quality levels, and an example is given for illustration purpose.
