WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexing) is called a wavelength division multiplexing optical transmission method and is a next-generation optical transmission technology. Case company F has recently developed and sold PLC(Planar Lightwave Circuit), a key element necessary for WDM system production. Although Chinese processing companies are being used as a global outsourcing strategy to increase price competitiveness by lowering manufacturing unit prices, the average defect rate of products manufactured by Chinese processing companies is more than 50%, causing many problems. However, Chinese processing companies are trying to avoid responsibility, saying that the cause of the defect is the defective PLC Wafer provided by Company F. Therefore, in this study, the responsibility of the PLC defect is clearly identified through estimating the defect rate of PLC using the sampling inspection method, and the improvement plan for each cause of the PLC defect for PLC yeild improvement is proposed. The result of this research will greatly contribute to eliminating the controversy over providing the cause of defects between global outsourcing companies and the head office. In addition, it is expected to form a partnership with Company F and a Chinese processing company, which will serve as a cornerstone for successful global outsourcing. In the future, it is necessary to increase the reliability of the PLC yield calculation by extracting more precisely the number of defects.

This study introduces acceptance sampling plans and procedures for the inspection of bulk materials. This paper also presents statistical aspects of sampling bulk materials such as general principles and sampling of particulate materials.

This paper is to propose various quality and reliability sampling inspection methods to perform the competitive global outsourcing strategy while purchasing and subcontracting. The study also represents implementation strategy which can be efficiently and effectively used in the enterprise. Quality sampling inspection schemes extend reliability inspection techniques with a little change.

This paper discusses the features of the ANSI/ASQ Z1.9-2003, Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection by Variables. This system is based on the MIL-STD-414.

ANSI/ASQ Z1.4, Sampling Procedures and Tables for Inspection By Attributes, has recently been published by American Society for Quality is based upon the MIL-STD-105E. This paper discusses the features of the ANSI/ASQ Z1.4 - 2003 and Dodge - Romig Sampling.
