Repetitive group sampling procedure for variables inspection

Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of repetitive group sampling (RGS) for variables inspection. The repetitive group sampling plan for variables inspection will be useful when testing is costly and destructive. The advantages of the variables RGS plan over variables single sampling plan, variables double sampling plan and attributes RGS plan are discussed. Tables are also constructed for the selection of parameters of known and unknown standard deviation variables repetitive group sampling plan indexed by acceptable quality level and limiting quality level.
