Abstract

This paper presents the structure of retentive production processes where successive observations are not independent. The concept of reliability test plan is enlarged for the lots form retentive processes. The operating characteristics (OC) function of the plan for exponential failure model have been derived and illustrated numerically. Tables are also presented to facilitate the operation and construction of the plan.

Keywords
