• CSP-1 FOR A SYSTEMATICALLY VARYING PROCESS

Abstract

Dodge(1943) introduced a single level attribute continuous sampling plan designated as CSP-1 for the application of continuous production process in which infinite sequence of articles is considered with probability of each unit being defective is constant. . In this paper the deviation of the assumption of CSP-1constant p model is considered with systematic variation in p. Expressions for the performance measures of CSP-1 for an oscillating sequence (p₁,p₂) are derived using Markov chain approach for even and odd values of  i. Tables are also presented to numerically analyze the behavior of the performance measures with reference to process quality.
