Acceptance sampling is used by industries worldwide for assuring the quality of incoming and outgoing goods. Acceptance sampling plans determine the sample size and criteria for accepting or rejecting a batch based on the quality of a sample, using statistical principles.
Tell me more about acceptance sampling.
Many organizations require the use of ISO standards (or their ISO/ANSI/ASQC/BS/Military Standards or other counterparts) for purposes of certification. Below are online versions of Military Standard Tables (equivalent to the civilian ISO/ANSI/ASQC/BS standards), which greatly simplify the process of determining sampling plans. You can find out how many items to sample and inspect, and how to decide whether the entire batch should be accepted or rejected.
