Abstract

Reliability sampling plans are used to determine the acceptability of a product at some future point in its effective life. Whenever the life test is performed based on the non-measurement characteristics, attributes sampling plans can be utilized. In this study, we propose an attribute reliability sampling plan for assuring median life time under failure censored life testing when the life time of the product follows a Frechet distribution. The optimal parameters of the proposed plan are determined by using two points on the operating characteristic curve approach. To determine the optimal parameters, an optimization problem is formulated so as to minimize the average number of failures to be observed.
