Acceptance sampling is a method for verifying quality or performance requirements using sample data. Variables acceptance sampling
is an alternative to attributes acceptance sampling, which in many instances requires significantly smaller samples. In this paper, we
consolidate the literature on variables acceptance sampling by providing a unified exposition of the approach used to develop such plans.
From within this framework, we review the derivation of plans for exponential, normal, gamma, Weibull, and Poisson random variables.
We verified these derivations on a set of test problems
