Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose the group acceptance sampling plans for when the lifetime of the submitted product follows the Pareto distribution.
Design/methodology/approach
The single‐point approach (only consumer's risk) is used to find the plan parameter of the proposed plan for specified values of consumer's risk, producer's risk, acceptance number, number of testers and experiment time.
Findings
Tables are constructed using the Poisson and the weighted Poisson distribution. Extensive tables are provided for practical use.
Research limitations/implications
The tables in this paper can be used only when the lifetime of a product follows the Pareto distribution of 2nd kind.
Practical implications
The result can be used to test the product to save cost and time of the experiment. The use of the weighted Poisson distribution provides the less group size (sample size) as than the plans in the literature.
Social implications
By implementing the proposed plan, the experiment cost can be minimized.
Originality/value
The novelty of this paper is that Poisson and the weighted Poisson distributions are used to find the plan parameter of the proposed plan instead of the binomial distribution when the lifetime of submitted product follows the Pareto distribution of 2nd kind.
