The quality of a production process is often judged by a quality assurance audit, which is essentially a structured system of sampling inspection plan. The defects of sampled products are assessed and compared with a quality standard, which is determined from a tradeoff among manufacturing costs, operating costs and customer needs. In this paper, we propose a new hierarchical Bayes quality measurement plan that assumes an implicit prior for the hyperparameters. The resulting posterior means and variances are obtained adaptively using a parametric bootstrap method. Published in 2009 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
