An essential tool for examining the quality of manufactured products is acceptance sampling. This research applies the concept of minimum angle method to extend two variables sampling plans including the variables multiple dependent state (VMDS) sampling plan and the variables repetitive group sampling (VRGS) plan on the basis of the process yield index Spk. Optimal parameters of acceptance sampling plans can be determined by solving a nonlinear optimization model with the following conditions: 1) The objective function of the plan is to minimize the average sample number. 2) Constraints are set in a way that the compliance rate will be satisfied with the ideal operating characteristic (OC) curve as well as the producer’s and costumer’s risks. The assessment of the proposed plans reveals that by increasing the rate of convergence to the ideal OC curve, the proposed VRGS plan performs better than the proposed VMDS plan in terms of the average sample number. A numerical example is considered to reveal the applicability of the proposed acceptance sampling plans.
