Everybody knows quality control is important. Here at SQC Online we use the power of the Internet to help you apply statistical tools in your own work environment. And it's all free!
Do you need to assure the quality of products delivered to you in batches? Many standard-setting organizations adopted the Military Standard Tables for sampling inspection.
Below are online versions of Military Standard Tables (equivalent to the civilian ANSI/ASQC standards).
You can find out how many items to sample, and how to decide if your goods are up to your specs. More about acceptance sampling
| Table | What is it for? | Civilian Counterpart |
|---|---|---|
| Military Standard 105E | Sampling plans for attribute data | ANSI/ASQC Z1.4, ISO 2859 |
| Military Standard 414 | Sampling plans for measurement data | ANSI/ASQC Z1.9 |
| Military Standard 1235C | Sampling inspection plans for continuous production, Procedure CSP-1 |
Many procedures in industry are based on the concepts of run. A run is a sequence of identical events, such as a sequence of winnings in a slot machine. Many such procedures are based on rules of thumb, rather than on theory.
Below are web applications that are based on the latest theory developed in this field. The applications show you what you would expect if applying one of these run-rules procedures.
| Procedure | Where are runs encountered? | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling Inspection | Switching rules between different levels of inspection | "Switch from normal to tightened inspection following 5 consecutive accepted batches" |
| Continuous Sampling (CSP-1) | Switching rules between phases of sampling | "Switch from 100% inspection to partial sampling after 5 consecutive conforming items" |
| Control Charts | The Western Electric Rules for detecting small shifts (Tell me more) | "Signal an alarm if 8 consecutive points fall on one side of the center line" |
| System Reliability | Consecutive-type systems | "The system fails if 3 consecutive components fail" |
