Military Standard 105E
(MIL STD 105E)
(ANSI/ASQC Z1.4, ISO 2859)
 Most widely used acceptance sampling system for attributes
 MIL STD 105E is Acceptance Sampling System

collection of sampling schemes
 Can be used with single, double or multiple sampling plans

We will consider single sampling plans for this course

Inspection Types
 Normal Inspection

Used at start of inspection activity
 Tightened Inspection


Instituted when vendor’s recent quality history has deteriorated
Acceptance requirements for lots are more stringent
 Reduced Inspection


Instituted when vendor’s recent quality history has been exceptionally
good
Sample size is usually smaller than under normal inspection

Switching Rules
Start
AND conditions
- Production Steady
- 10 consecutive lots accepted
- Approved by responsible
authority
Reduced
2 out of 5 consecutive lots
rejected
Normal
Tightened
OR conditions
- Lot rejected
- Irregular production
- Lot meets neither accept
nor reject criteria
- Other conditions warrant
return to normal inspection
5 consecutive
lots accepted
10 consecutive lots remain
on tightened inspection
Discontinue

Procedure for
MIL STD 105E
 STEP 1: Choose AQL

MIL STD 105E designed around Acceptable Quality Level, AQL


Recall that the Acceptable Quality Level, AQL, is producer's largest
acceptable fraction defective in process
Typical AQL range:


4/13/2015
0.01%  AQL  10%
Specified by contract or authority responsible for sampling

Procedure for
MIL STD 105E
 STEP 2: Choose inspection level

Level II


Level I



Requires about one-half the amount of inspection as Level II
Use when less discrimination needed
Level III



Designated as normal
Requires about twice as much inspection as Level II
Use when more discrimination needed
S-1, S-2, S-3, S-4


Procedure for
MIL STD 105E
 STEP 3–Determine lot size, N

Lot size most likely dictated by vendor
 STEP 4: Find sample size code letter


From Table 15-4, p 657
Given lot size, N, and Inspection Level, use table to determine sample
size code letters
 STEP 5: Determine appropriate type sampling plan

Decide if Single, Double or Multiple sampling plan is to be used

Procedure for
MIL STD 105E
 STEP 6: Find Sample Size, n, and Acceptance Level, c

Given sample size letter code, use Master Tables: 15-5, 15-6,
and 15-7 on pp.658-660

Find n and c for all three inspection types:

Example
 Suppose product comes from vendor in lots of size 2000
units. The acceptable quality level is 0.65%. Determine the
MIL STD 105E acceptance-sampling system.
