Abstract

This article proposes a statistical method for working out reliability sampling plans under Type I censored sample for items whose failure times have either normal or lognormal distributions. The quality statistic is a method of moments estimator of a monotonous function of the unreliability. An approach of choosing a truncation time is recommended. The sample size and acceptability constant are approximately determined by using the Cornish-Fisher expansion for quantiles of distribution. Simulation results show that the method given in this article is feasible.
