A. Lot homogeneous source of itemsfrom the same code
B. Sub lot distinct smaller portion ofa lot a case or pallet
C. Sample a portion of the productunits, or quantity of a commodity,ingredient or supplies from a lot.
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
4/28
D. Unit smallest quantity beinginspected a representative sample of a freshcommodity, an ingredient or a single package
of food
E. Sampling A method for obtaining
information from a small portion of a lotwhen it is too expensive, time consuming,impossible/preferred to measuring the total
population

F. Inspection measuring,
examining or testing a sample of
ingredients or product units to
determine if items are acceptable and
meet specifications.
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
6/28
A. Advantages
1. Economy due to inspecting only part of
each lot
2. Less damage due to handling in
inspection3. Fewer inspectors needed, thereforereduces recruiting and training problems
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling

4. May use destructive testing
5. Rejections to suppliers or departments
of entire lots provides increased
motivation to meet specifications and
make improvements

B. Disadvantages
1. Risk of accepting bad lots andrejecting good lots
2. Additional record keepingrequired

9/28
A. To protect producers and consumerby accepting or rejecting product
B. Establish process capability
C. To develop a history of productquality
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
10/28
D. Feedback for process control (makeappropriate adjustments to control to
minimize variability)
E. To assign quality grades to products to
optimize their economic value
F. Economic, physiological to improve
production process
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
11/28
A. At the suppliers warehouse
B. As ingredients are received
C. During processing or manufacturing
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
12/28
D. From product lots stored in your
warehouse
E. From carrier truck
G. From retail markets
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
13/28
A. Choose random samples
B. Choose samples that represent the population minimize error that will naturally occur due
to the fact that only a portion of the populationis used to estimate population parameters.Representatives samples depend on:
1. Size of lot2. Purpose of control
3. Product variability
4. Regulation
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
14/28
C. Sample optimal numbers of units at
appropriate times and locations toensure efficiency
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
15/28
A. Attributes to identify yes/no, go/no go oraccept/reject decisions
B. Variables to identify variations between units measured
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
16/28
Attributes
Quality characteristics of either a
product or process
Which may be tabulated as either:
-present or absent
-satisfactory or non-satisfactory
- within limit or outside limit
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
17/28
Variables
- Can be measured and expressed in
increments of inches, mg, degrees, %, etc.
- Can be measured by use of some scales
which can theoretically be divided into
infinite sub-units
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
18/28
Attributes Vs Variables
- Attribute characteristics are tabulated while
Variables are measured
- Tabulating attributes as the basis for quality
control is generally less expensive than
measuring variables
BUT
- Attributes require many more observations
to obtain the same information than can be
obtained from a small number of
measurements of variables
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
19/28
A. ATTRIBUTES
as used in quality control
Refers to those quality characteristics that
conform or do not conform to specification.
e.g -broken
-chipped off
- dirty
*defects that may affect safety of product
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
20/28
B. VARIABLES
based on :sample statistic of average on
standard deviation and the type of
frequency distribution
e.g - thickness of bottles, cans
- weight of bottles, cans- headspace
* will effect fill weight of products.
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
21/28
A. Non-random sampling bias; disturbproduct acceptance decisions
a. Sampling from same location
b. Selecting only those products that appeardefective (or non defective)
c. Ignoring portions of lot inconvenient tosample
d. Deciding on the pattern of stratificationwith limited knowledge
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
22/28
B. Random sampling
1. Simple random sample
a. Equal chance of selecting each unit
i. Dice, cards, or numbers out of a hat
ii. Random number table
b. Sample subset = N/n where N = population
size, n = sample size
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
23/28
2. Systematic random sample
a. Sampling at uniform intervals
b. Number of intervals
i. K = N/n = # product unit in lot / #samples desired
ii. Pick every kth product
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
24/28
Example :You have 2000 1-gallon containers of ice-
cream and you need 20 samples
K = 2000/20 = 100, or each 100 gallons is asub lot
Therefore, if the first gallon chosen (randomly)off the line was the 14th product from the firstsub lot, then the 14th product from each of the
remaining 19 sub lots must be chosen.

25/28
3. Stratified random sample
Used when the lots are known to come from
different machines, production shifts,operators, etc
4. Composite sampleCombination of two or more random
samples from a uniform flow of solid or
liquid
7/31/2019 Lecture+3+ +Principles+of+Sampling
26/28
5. Skip lot sampling
Used to greatly reduce the amount ofsampling when desired quality isuniform and items are guaranteed as
with ingredients or finished foodsmanufactured the TQM way.

A. Thief a dipper of probe designed tosample liquids, powders or smallparticulates.
B. Automatic sampler A computer-driven, in-line sampling system for
collecting composite samples from auniform flow of liquids, powder orparticulates.

C. Rifle or Divider A vibrating,
subdividing sampling system withnumerous sample pockets for use with
a free flowing particulate powder.
