The most frequently used attribute sampling plan in MIL‐STD 105 D. In cases, however, when the quality level of incoming lots is generally sufficiently good, MIL‐STD 105 D often leads to unnecessarily high sampling cost. This can be avoided by using α‐optimal sampling plans. The authors outline the α‐optimal sampling scheme along with a simple procedure to determine α‐optimal sampling plans at workshop level. These plans depend on three parameters which have to be estimated from recorded data. In this article the effects of estimation errors in these parameters are investigated.
