AQLSchemes

Functions are included for recalling AQL (Acceptable Quality Level or Acceptance Quality Level) Based single, double, and multiple attribute sampling plans from the Military Standard (MIL-STD-105E) - American National Standards Institute/American Society for Quality (ANSI/ASQ Z1.4) tables and for retrieving variable sampling plans from Military Standard (MIL-STD-414) - American National Standards Institute/American Society for Quality (ANSI/ASQ Z1.9) tables. The sources for these tables are listed in the URL: field. Also included are functions for computing the OC (Operating Characteristic) and ASN (Average Sample Number) coordinates for the attribute plans it recalls, and functions for computing the estimated proportion nonconforming and the maximum allowable proportion nonconforming for variable sampling plans. The MIL-STD AQL Sampling schemes were the most used and copied set of standards in the world. They are intended to be used for sampling a stream of lots, and were used in contract agreements between supplier and customer companies. When the US military dropped support of MIL-STD 105E and 414, The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Standards Organization (ISO) adopted the standard with few changes or no changes to the central tables. This package is useful because its computer implementation of these tables duplicates that available in other commercial software and subscription online calculators.
