The minimum sample sizes needed to guarantee a specified average lifetime are determined for different acceptance numbers, confidence levels, and ratios of the fixed test duration to the defined average lifetime. The Shanker distribution is adopted to represent the lifetimes of test units, with its mean serving as the quality indicator. Furthermore, the operating characteristic function values for the proposed sampling plans, along with the associated producer's risk, are provided. Examples are included to demonstrate how to use the tables effectively. An application of a real data set is used to illustrate the usefulness of the suggested acceptance sampling plans. 2025 2025 287 301 10.54216/IJNS.260321 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/21/show/3812
