We supply one of our customers with bags of 100 parts. The customers uses a sampling plan of AQL1.5 Inspection Level G2, the only thing is they are sampling by bag but then rejecting the delivery if a single part fails requirements.
So if we supply a delivery of 5,000 parts, they count this as 50 bags, sample 8 bags, and return the batch if 1 part fails.
To my mind, the sampling plan should be by part, so if we deliver 5,000 parts, they sample 200, and reject if 8 parts fail.
Obviously we want to reduce the number of failed parts that we supply and that is our focus, but I'd just like to know what the Elsmar community thinks about the method of sampling used and whether it is right or not?
