Abstract
In this study, group acceptance sampling plan proposed by Aslam et al. (2011) is reconsidered when the lifetime variant of the test item follows lognormal distribution. The optimal plan parameters are obtained by considering various pre-specified parameters. The plan parameters are obtained using the non-linear optimization solution using two points approach. The advantage of the proposed plan is discussed over the existing plan using the single point approach and the proposed plan is more efficient than the existing plan.
