One of our clients could not consistently
pass its munitions fuze lot acceptance test, even though the fuze met its
95% government-specification reliability requirement. Our analysis and
related ASBCA testimony showed that the probability of passing the lot
acceptance test was only about 30%. The government's specified fuze reliability and the lot
acceptance test requirements were inconsistent. |
