JMP Acceptance Sampling Plan Add-In

[#1]

The acceptance sampling plan add-in provides a point-and-click interface for generating / creating, evaluating and comparing sampling plans.

Specifically, one can create sampling plans by lot acceptance sampling by attributes and variables acceptance sampling.  Attribute sampling plans supported include:

• Single
• Zero ( C = 0, Squegila Plans )

Variable sampling plans supported include:

• Sampling by Variables for proportion nonconforming

Key features:

• Generate / Create sampling plans
• Evaluate sampling plans
• Compare up to 5 sampling plans
• Operating Characteristic ( OC ) Curves
• Acceptance Region Plot
• K-Method for variables sampling plans
• One-sided spec limits
• Two-sided spec limits
• Generate variables collection table for analysis with unknown standard deviation
• Validation / Integration test cases
• Performance measures for Average Outgoing Quality (AOQ) and Average Total Inspection (ATI)
• Acceptance region

 Acceptance Region Plot with summary

Hello,

I really want to try your tool but it doesn't work for me.

I have this error message: "argument incorrect lors de l'accès ou de l'évaluation de 'Column' , Column/*###*/(dt_plan_rslts, 1)"

Have you an idea about this probem ?

Regards,

Guillaume

Hi @GuillaumeBE,

Thank you for trying out the sampling plan add-in. 

I'm sorry you encountered some issues.

Can you provide me with some additional details so I can track down what might be the cause of the error you encountered.

• Which OS are you using?
• Which version of JMP are you running? 
• Which module were you attempting to use when you received the error?

cheers,

Stan

[mandeling]

hello,

I encountered the same error message: "argument incorrect lors de l'accès ou de l'évaluation de 'Column' , Column/*###*/(dt_plan_rslts, 1)",my OS is Windows 10,the version of JMP is JMP PRO 14,when use all modules,the error message  jumped out!

Is there any solution?

Regards,

  mandeling

[Raaed]

not run in jmp pro 14.3

[mandeling]

@Raaed ,

       Thank you for your help,but the add-in changes in November 4, 2020 stated"

• Updated the minimum JMP version supported to 14.
• Removed startup script

[shampton82]

Thanks for creating this!  I ran it and just used the default settings and got this:

Should the blue line be going through the "elbows" of the color lines?

[stan_koprowski]

@shampton82

Thanks for pointing this out to me. And yes the reference lines should touch the OC curve.

I'll post an update shortly with some enhancements and bug fixes.

cheers,

Stan

[stan_koprowski]

@Raaed, @mandeling @GuillaumeBE ,

bummer, this is a bug. I'll squash it and post an update shortly with some enhancements and bug fixes.

cheers,

Hi

Have you been able to work on this addin recently? I have an error for every menu: perhaps it is related to some trouble between this script written on mac vs windows?

"Error with file: Path is invalid: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\JMP\Sampling Plans\Preferences\sampling plans default preferences.jmp.{16} in access or evaluation of 'Glue' , Include(
"$ADDIN_HOME(JMP sampling plans koprowski)/V1/sampling_plans_main_code.jsl"
);
sampling_plans_main_ns:include_main_f();
defvals = defaults_sampling_plans_ns:load_defaults_f( valflag = 0 );
Eval( oksplMMbbExpr ) /*###*/;"

Thanks!

[stan_koprowski]

Hi @Franck_R ,

I updated the add-in on 2 March 2021.  Which version of JMP are you using?

The add-in by default should be installed in "c:\...\SAS\JMP\Addins\..."  I noticed based on the error you have shared the add-in installation path is not using the default location.  

If you had an earlier version of the sampling plan add-in installed I would recommend uninstalling the previous version of the add-in before installing the current version and verify the add-in default location.

If you verify the above and are still experiencing any issues please send me a private message and I'll work with you directly to resolve.

cheers,

Stan

[Franck_R]

OK thanks but In fact I do use the default location path.

My addin path is:

C:\Users\frichard.CROCUS\AppData\Roaming\SAS\JMP\Addins\

I have check too this path with:

y = Get Path Variable("ADDIN_HOME(JMP sampling plans koprowski)");

print(y);

and the result is:

"/C:/Users/frichard.CROCUS/AppData/Roaming/SAS/JMP/Addins/JMP sampling plans koprowski/"

I do not have change anything in my default addin path and for me it is the standard for JMP on windows. It is the first addin which I have such error…

And the error log mention:

Error with file: Path is invalid: C:\Users\frichard.CROCUS\AppData\Roaming\JMP\Sampling Plans\Preferences\sampling plans default preferences.jmp.{16} in access or evaluation of 'Glue' , Include(

                "$ADDIN_HOME(JMP sampling plans koprowski)/V1/sampling_plans_main_code.jsl"

);

There is nothing in my case on in C:\Users\frichard.CROCUS\AppData\Roaming\JMP\Sampling Plans\Preferences\

I am using the current version of this addin and JMP 15.2.1

I hope it works, it would have helped me a lot at the moment, but it is okay if it is not...

[MartinC]

I am on JMP Pro 15.2.1.

The previous add-in version was working fine.

This latest version (March 2, 2021) does not work. I get an error message.

I went back to the previous version.

I hope this get fixed since it is a very useful add-in.

[stan_koprowski]

Hi @Franck_R,

Thank you for the additional information.  I was able to isolate and identify the root cause of the issue.

I'll post an update to fix the preference file not found issue...the storage location changed and is not reflected properly by the add-in.

cheers,

Stan

[Franck_R]

Great, thanks!

[caesal]

Hello,

I'm using mac for JMP. I also got this error and I'm sure my file location is correct. How should I fix it?

Error with file: File not found: /Users/c4esal/Library/Application Support/JMP/Sampling Plans/Preferences/sampling plans default preferences.jmp.{16} in access or evaluation of 'Glue' , Include(

"$ADDIN_HOME(JMP sampling plans koprowski)/V1/sampling_plans_main_code.jsl"

);

sampling_plans_main_ns:include_main_f();

defvals = defaults_sampling_plans_ns:load_defaults_f( valflag = 0 );

Eval( oksplMMbbExpr ) /*###*/;

[stan_koprowski]

Hi @Franck_R and @caesal ,

I have fixed the issue with the preferences file location.

Please go ahead and download the latest version 1.3.

Thank you for trying it out and for the feedback.

cheers,

Stan

[Franck_R]

Hi

Thanks a lot it works great know!

[Fideliter]

Variables sampling plan does not seem to work on JMP 16:

[smoke]

@stan_koprowski, can confirm the same error box popped up as @Fideliter .

I went through the menus as follows: add-ins->Jmp Sampling Plans-> Variables -> Sampling by Variables -> Generate/Create Variables Plan -> (leave the stock values in the window and then hit ok). = Same exact error box as above

I am on JMP 15.1.0 as well

[stan_koprowski]

Hi @Fideliter,

Sorry for the delayed response.  

I will post a fix for the error you noted this evening.

cheers,

Stan

[stan_koprowski]

Hi @smoke,

Thank you for confirming the issue noted previously.

I will post a fix later this evening.

cheers,

Stan

[stan_koprowski]

@Fideliter and @smoke,

I have updated the add-in to v1.4.  

Thank you for trying it out.

Please do let me know if you have ideas for enhancements, new feature requests or encounter other issues.

cheers,

Stan

I am getting an error when running the double sampling plan analysis.  Here is the error.

Here is the input information. (level II inspection, letter code H, AQL=1% used from MIL-STD-105E)

n1=n2=32  N=500  AQL=0.01625  RQL=0.1225 (from NIST handbook section 6.2.4) ;  pass 1 Ac=0 Re=2 ; pass 2 Ac=1 Re=2  ;1-alpha=0.95 beta=0.10

Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

[stan_koprowski]

Hi @JimHartwig,

Sorry to learn you encountered an error.

I did a quick test and got the following output.

double sampling plan dialoguedouble sampling plan output 

Please confirm which version of JMP and which OS you are using and I'll take a look at my code and post an update shortly.

cheers,

Stan

[JimHartwig]

I have JMP 16.2 using Microsoft version 11.  I have a horizontal input screen, not a vertical one that you show in your response.  I continue to get errors every time I use the add-in. 

[Behrouz]

Hi Stan

Thanks a lot for this Add-Ins. I do have one question?

Shouldn't this be Z.LSL<=K when I have both specifications? 

[Behrouz]

Sorry, my mistake, It is correct. it should be Z.LSL>=k

[jinjixue321]

I like this feature very much. I thought JMP17 would add it, but I found it was not. I was very sad

[shampton82]

@jinjixue321 Agreed, maybe in a dot update.

[jinjixue321]

Thanks for the update. It would be better if there were Japanese files.

[stan_koprowski]

Hi @jinjixue321,

I'll work on providing localization in the next update.

Stan

[WebDesignesCrow]

Very attractive add-in but when I input the parameter, JMP17 is taking forever "progress".

Any idea? Did i input too many parameters?

[istateres]

I think there is a display/rounding/etc. issue with the "Associated Quality Level". The correct values (based on the Binomial) for this sampling plan are: 0.000163 and 0.009465 (rounded to 6 decimal places). So while six decimal places are being displayed by the Add-in, it looks like results rounded to 5 decimal places are actually being presented with a trailing zero. 

I'm using version 16.1.0 of JMP and the current Add-in downloaded from the web.
