Question 1

A multiple-sampling plan uses the smallest sample size of any sampling plan.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False  True

Question 2

.Is acceptance sampling consistent with TQM?

Accepted Answer

Acceptance sampling is a historical approach to quality control based on the premise that some acceptable number of defective items will result from the production process.The producer and consumer agree on the number of acceptable defects.The notion of a producer or consumer agreeing to any defects is contrary to the philosophy of TQM.The goal of companies that have adopted TQM is to achieve zero defects.Acceptance sampling identifies defective items after the product is already finished,whereas TQM strives to prevent defects altogether.TQM companies do not believe that acceptance sampling is helpful in preventing poor quality or in ensuring good quality in the future.

Question 3

What is the advantage of a multiple-sampling plan?

Accepted Answer

A multiple-sampling plan also referred to as a sequential sampling plan,generally employs the smallest sample size of many of the sampling plans used in acceptance sampling.In its most extreme form,individual items are inspected sequentially,and the decision to accept or reject a lot is based on the cumulative number of defective items.A multiple-sampling plan can result in small samples and,consequently,can be the least expensive of the sampling plans.
