Abstract

In section 1.3(a) we drew a distinction between batch inspection and continuous production inspection, and we explained that the latter deals with the inspection of either truly continuous material such as nylon thread, or else of conveyorized production of separate items such as chocolate bars. The material of Chapters 3 and 4 relates to this situation. However, a special set of inspection plans, known as continuous sampling plans, has been introduced for use in continuous production inspection.
