Economic Reliability Test Plan for Burr Type X Distribution

Abstract

The Burr Type X distribution is considered as a probability model for the lifetime of the product. Sampling plans in which items that are put to test, to collect the life of the items in order to decide upon accepting or rejecting a submitted lot, are called reliability test plans. A test plan to determine the termination time of the experiment for a given sample size, producer’s risk and termination number is constructed. The preferability of the present test plan over similar plans exists in the literature is established with respect to time of the experiment. Results are illustrated by an example.
