The design of single sampling plans in which the lot acceptance decision is based on both variables and attribute measurement of quality is discussed. A new plan, called the combined attributes–variables plan, is proposed incorporating an acceptance number to the regular variables plan for consumer protection. A design approach for the new plan is also developed for food manufacturing applications in which the sample size cannot be predetermined because of short production lengths and other analytical testing issues.
