Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acceptance sampling is a statistical method used to check if incoming batches or lots of purchased products meet predetermined quality standards or specifications. It involves testing a representative sample from a larger batch or lot, rather than inspecting every unit, to determine if the entire batch should be accepted or rejected for further use or delivery. Therefore, acceptance sampling is used to control incoming lots of purchased products. It is not typically used to control the number of units sent to the next stage of a process or the quality of work-in-process inventory, and is not directly related to the number of units delivered to the customer.
