Group acceptance sampling plans for resubmitted lots under Burr-type XII distributions

In this article, a group acceptance sampling plan (GASP) for lot resubmitting is developed to ensure the quality of product lifetime assuming that the product lifetime follows the Burr-type XII distribution. The parameters of the GASP are determined by satisfying the specified producer's and consumer's risks according to the experiment termination time and the number of testers. A comparison between the proposed group sampling plan and the ordinary group sampling plan shows that the proposed plan requires less sample size. Two examples are used for illustration.
