Producer's Risk Notes:

Sometimes, it is not possible to inspect all the produced products to check the quality. Due to this reason, a sample of product is drawn from the produced batch or products and the quality of the products within that sample is inspected. The decision of accepting or rejecting the overall batch or lot is based on the quality of products within the sample. This sometimes results in errors. An error or risk associated with acceptance sampling, called producer's risk is the risk associated with rejecting a lot of good quality products. This type of error is also called Type I error or alpha risk. When a sample is randomly drawn, there is a chance that the sample contains many non-conforming products, however, the remaining sample is all good. Based on the sample, the good lot gets rejected which incurs cost to the producer, hence the name producer's risk.
