Sudamani Ramaswamy, A R2017-03-312017-03-312012https://ir.avinuty.ac.in/handle/avu/2482in this paperdouble sampling plans for truncated life tests are developed using minimum angle method when the lifetimes o f the items follows Rayleigh distribution. The values o f operating ratio corresponding to the consumer’s risk and producer’s risk are calculated and using minimum angle method, the value 0 is found. Tables are constructed and examples are provided. By applying Minimum angle method for Designing Double Acceptance Sampling Plans under Reliegh Distribution it is found to be more economic in saving cost, energy and time. It also minimizes the consumers and producers risk simultaneously.
