Kostenoptimale Prüfpläne für ein quantitatives Merkmal

Summary A sample inspection plan is said to be optimal in the sense of the minimax regret principle, if it minimizes the difference between the expected total costs and the unavoidable costs. The results of this article can be used to calculate such sample inspection plans for a quantitative quality control with one-sided tolerance limits and known or unknown variance of the test variate. As an example of practical importance the case of a normal variate with unknown variance is considered. Formulae are given to estimate the error that arises if the assumed distribution of the test variate differs from the actual distribution.
