To develop decision rules regarding acceptance or rejection of production lots based on sample data is the purpose of acceptance sampling inspection plan. Dependent sampling procedures cumulate results from several preceding production lots when testing is expensive or destructive. This chaining of past lots reduce the sizes of the required samples, essential for acceptance or rejection of production lots. In this article, a new approach for chaining the past lot(s) results proposed, named as modified chain group acceptance sampling inspection plan, requires a smaller sample size than the commonly used sampling inspection plan, such as group acceptance sampling inspection plan and single acceptance sampling inspection plan. A comparison study has been done between the proposed and group acceptance sampling inspection plan as well as single acceptance sampling inspection plan. A example has been given to illustrate the proposed plan in a good manner.
