Gives advice in the selection of an acceptance sampling system, scheme or plan. Applies to a wide variety of inspection situations. Deals only with confined acceptance sampling of products that are supplied in lots and that can be classified as consisting of products that are supplied in lots and that can be classified as consisting of discrete items (discrete articles of product).
