Computer Programs: An Algorithm for Determining Double Attribute Sampling Plans

Summary: Most methods for determining double attribute sampling plans depend on tables generated using the Poisson distribution with specific risk levels alpha and beta. This paper presents an algorithm that provides the flexibility to be able to use a hypergeometric, binomial, Poisson or normal distribution and specify any values of alpha and beta. The computer program then provides several possible plans for the user to examine and provides plots of the OC, AOQ, ASN and ATI curves for the plan having risks less than or equal to those specified and minimum sample size.
