Abstract

In this paper, we develop an optimization model for the economic design of repetitive sampling plan in the presence of two markets. The process under consideration produces a product with a normally distributed quality characteristic with unknown mean and known variance. The quality characteristic has a lower specification limit. The quality of the product is controlled via lot-by-lot acceptance sampling plan. The objective function used in the model is maximizing profit and product conformity using the Taguchi loss function as a surrogate for product conformity. Risks of producer and consumer in two different markets are considered as constraints. We demonstrate the application of the model using a numerical example. Sensitivity analysis on model parameters shows that the result of the model is sensitive to changes in model parameters.
