Abstract

A design procedure for two-stage chain sampling plans ChSP-(0, 2), ChSP-(1, 2), ChSP-(0, 3), ChSP-(1, 3), ChSP-(0, 4) and ChSP-(1, 4) based on Kullback-Leibler information and minimum sum of risks is proposed. Tables for the selection of plans indexed by acceptable quality level (AQL) and limiting quality level (LQL) with associated producer’s risk $\alpha$ = 0.05 and consumer’s risk $\beta$ = 0.10 are provided. The tables present the values of the parameters $n, k_1$ and $k_2$. Suitable examples are provided.
