Reliability of Acceptance Sampling Plans for Gamma-Distribution Life Times Under Hybrid Censoring Scheme

This paper deals with Reliability of Acceptance Sampling Plan (RASP) which differs from ordinary sampling plan for a static quality characteristic,since it involves a non-normal fail time distribution and censored data.The plans consist of the optimal sample size and the critical number of failures which satisfy the consumer and producer risks are determined for a given censoring time.the distribution of life time is Gamma where the shape parameter is known ,plans are tabulated for selected combination of consumer and producer risks and parameter values are achieved by using matlab program written for this purpose.
