The Limitations Of Acceptance Sampling

By Kenya Campos


The process for the inspection has a one hundred percent needs of money, time and labor. Expenditures for the survey is said to be an excess funds or allocation. Sometimes, due to stress, the whole process seems to be tiring that could affect the effectiveness of a product or item. The feature of the items may also be defected while in the process of checking. The method of rejecting and accepting of a sample of a lot is defined as Acceptance sampling.

The alternative way is using a statistical way for checking methods. Through this, the items are inspected and the result is based on the quality that came from sample products. The items are selected by several methods. The entire lot is accepted if there are sample items that specified or else it is rejected.

The sampling inspection may include a survey for samples by batches. This is done through attributes or variables. It has decisions like to go or no go, bad or good, yes or no and defective or not defective. Some of the examples are the inspection of fruits, vegetables, furniture finish, photographs, hardware items and stationery. All of these are required to have variety of actual requirements like diameter, thickness and length.

This sampling is applicable even a single item. Just like an example of the length of a bolt fastener that may be inspected by a caliper, this is now the variables inspection. The thread on a bolt may be inspected through a ring gauge for the diameter, roughness and pitch of a thread. This is called an inspection by attributes.

There are several procedures for every sampling. Steps are also provided that are followed through the entire process. The first process is the right segregation of items in the lots inspection. The second process is choosing the right sample from every lot. Third is inspecting each item to determine the quality and the last process is rejecting or accepting of every lot based on the given sample.

The advantages of the time and money spent for a 100 percent survey is the elimination of fatigue due to extensive survey, there is only a small quantity of staff needed for the survey, there is an effective pressure for the quality compared to rejection of items. The items containing destructive nature can also be detected in advance.

There are conclusion coming from a sample basis. These may cause certain risks that can lead to a wrong interference of quality lots. This is commonly defined as the risk for producer or consumers. The success of each method depends on the sizes, criteria, samples and lot size.

There are important aspects of this kind sampling are its purposes to sentence a lot and not to estimate the qualities of lots. The plans do not provide a direct form of a quality control. They are only for accepting and rejecting lots. The process controls are utilized for the controlling and improving of the quality sampling.

Utilizing the plan, all bad lots are rejected and replaced with good lots. However, there are times that the decisions for accepting or rejecting are only based on the samples, so there is really a wrong decision made. So for the purpose of protection, the operating characteristic curve can help for the probability of acceptance.
