Abstract

In this article two-sided and modified two-sided group chain sampling plans for Pareto distribution of the 2nd kind is proposed. The minimum group size and mean ratios are obtained by satisfying the consumer’s risk at the pre-specified quality level. Several tables are presented for easy selection of comparative study of the proposed plan with established plans.
