Abstract
The design of a multiple deferred (dependent) state repetitive group sampling plan for exponentiated half-logistic distributed percentile life assurance under time-truncated life test is considered in this article. In this research, tables are provided to choose the design parameters of the proposed plan determined for different percentile ratios using the method of two points on the operating characteristic curve with known shape parameter values. We describe the sampling procedure of the proposed multiple deferred (dependent) state repetitive group sampling plan with real-time data and discuss the effect of misspecification of the shape parameter on lot acceptance probabilities. Based on an economical design of the proposed plan, an optimal plan is determined that satisfies both producer and consumer risks with minimum cost. In addition, the performance of the proposed plan is analyzed and compared with other existing sampling plans under an exponentiated half-logistic lifetime distribution. Finally, conclusions are provided.
