Abstract

In this paper, we propose a group acceptance sampling plan (GASP) for truncated life tests when the lifetimes of items follow the Pareto distribution of the second kind. The minimal group size, the operating characteristic value, and the minimal ratio of the true mean life to the specified mean life regarding the proposed GASPs are found, and some of them are tabulated. An example is given for illustration.
