In the case of hydraulic pressure type fuse, we accept or reject certain product lots by considering the number of defective products in the operating pressure test. Generally, this procedure, known as 'The inspection by attributes', has been most commonly used in the field of quality assurance of products. However, the method of inspection by attributes suffers because it tests more samples than inspection by variables. Even though the quality of the products has remained stable in the process condition, the same number of samples is required for every lot, which wastes time and money. This paper suggests that the lot acceptance procedure is changed from inspection by attributes to inspection by variables. We can calculate the statistical tolerance percent of defectives and compare this to the Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) in order to save money and time. It is also easier to monitor and control the quality of products by using the process capability index and x-bar charts. In conclusion, the procedure delivers mutual benefit to both the customer and the producer by securing high quality products and reference data.
