JIS Z 9015-3:1999

This part of JIS Z 9015 specifies generic attribute skip-lot sampling procedures for reducing the inspection effort on products submitted by those suppliers who have demonstrated their ability to control, in an effective manner, all facets of quality and who consistently produce lots which meet requirements. The reduction in inspection effort is achieved by selecting at random, with a specified probability, whether a lot presented for inspection will be passed without inspection. This procedure extends to the inspection of lots the principle of random selection already applied within JIS Z 9015-1 to the individuals comprising a lot. Inspection may take place at the supplierfs or purchaserfs locations or at an interface between operations of a production process. The skip-lot procedures are designed to be used with the attribute lot-by-lot plans described in JIS Z 9015-1.
