Inspecting every item is often impossible, yet African manufacturers and importers still need confidence that incoming and outgoing lots meet quality requirements. Acceptance sampling provides a statistically sound way to decide whether to accept or reject a lot based on a sample. This course teaches practitioners to design and apply sampling plans, understand the risks involved, and set inspection levels that protect both supplier and customer.
