Question

Regarding Nicholas Squeglia’s Zero Acceptance Number Sampling Plans,

in the 4th edition for lot size 151-280 (1% AQL), a sample size of 20 is
provided.  However, in the 5th edition, for the same lot size 151-280 and
AQL of 1%, the sample size is 29. Which is correct – a sample size of 20
or 29?

Answer

In the 5th edition of Nicolas Squeglia’s book, he mentions on page xii the
rationale of the change in sample sizes.  From  the 5th edition, “in the
early 2000’s, a large aerospace manufacturer was given permission by
ASQ to reproduce the c=0 sampling table.  They modified the table by
changing several sample sizes, and for convenience it was therefore
originally decided to carry those modifications into the fifth edition.”

Table 1a is the original tables (4th edition and previous) which has the
sample size of 29.  Use this table unless otherwise specified by contract.

Table 1b is the modified table which has a sample size of 20.
