Optimal ordering and inspection policies when the incoming lost are subjected to sampling inspection

Abstract

In this paper a mathematical model has been developed in which the interactions of Economic Order Quantities with quality control policies have been considered. The incoming lots of an inventory system are assumed to be subjected to single sample inspection plan. Expressions for optimal order quantities and inspections policies have been developed assuming the probability distribution function of fraction defective in an incoming lot is uniformly distributed. A numerical example has been provided to illustrate the model.
