Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acceptance sampling is primarily used to control incoming lots of purchased products. It involves a random sample of items being inspected for quality, and if they meet the predetermined requirements, the entire lot is accepted. This helps ensure that the purchased products meet the required quality standards before being incorporated into the production process or delivered to the customer. Acceptance sampling is not typically used to control work-in-process or the transfer of products between stages of a process.
