Inspection & Sampling Techniques Course

To main objective of this short course is to provide guidance and insight on inspection techniques and
acceptance sampling plans/quality tools and their benefits.
Training Outcomes.
By the end of this training, delegates will have hands-on skills and better conceptualize the
following;
ü Recognize the terminology of quality assurance, quality control and inspection
ü Statistics relevant to inspection by attributes and variables
ü Sampling inspection system terminology including; acceptance quality limit (AQL),
inspection levels, attributes, variables, probability of acceptance, operating characteristic
(OC), random sampling
ü Approaches to determining the acceptance quality limit (AQL)
ü Identifying the appropriate inspection level and sample sizes in the sampling tables
ü Appropriate sampling plans for inspection by attributes and variables.
ü How the tables are used to decide on acceptance or rejection of a lot
ü How to correctly use the switching rules for optimum effectiveness
ü Apply the attribute sampling plan based on ISO 2859-1
ü Apply the variable sampling plan based on ISO 3951-1
ü Recognize the application of single, double, and multiple sampling plans
ü Identify the sampling plans for single specification and double specification
ü Detect the sampling plans using numerical and graphical methods
ü Comprehend switching rule

Way forward After the Training
Participants will develop a work plan through the help of facilitators that stipulates application
of skills acquired in improving their organizations. ASPM will monitor implementation progress
after the training.
Training Evaluation:
Participants will undertake a simple assessment before the training to gauge knowledge, skills
and another assessment will be done after the training in-order to demonstrate knowledge gained
through the training.
