Min OC(AQL) - Minimum Probability of Acceptance at AQL

For sampling plans with varying protection, there are three OC curves: stationary OC Curve, maximum OC Curve and the minimum OC Curve.  The AQL is determined using the stationary OC curve.  The minimum probability of acceptance at the AQL is determined using the minimum OC Curve, denoted Min OC(p).  The default probability of acceptance at the AQL is 0.95.  However, the actual probability of acceptance varies and can be as low as Min OC(AQL).  The Min OC(AQL) along with Max OC(LTPD) are used to summarize the behavior of the sampling plan as the protection varies.
