In this article, two-stage group acceptance sampling plan is developed assuming that the lifetime of the test units follows odds exponential log-logistic distribution and the life test is terminated at a prefixed time. The acceptance of the lot mainly depends on the number of failures observed from each group either in the first or second stage of sampling. We examine the quality of organizations necessary for each of the two stages of the proposed lifetime distribution as to slash the average sample number under the satisfactory constraints of producer’s and consumer’s risk together. The proposed plan is compared with the single-stage group acceptance sampling plan as a special case in terms of the average sample number and the operating characteristics.
