This paper is a generalization of single and two-level skip-lot sampling plans to n-level. On every skipping inspection of the n-level skip-lot sampling plan, not only the number of consecutive lots to be accepted but also the fraction of lots to be inspected can be freely choosed. The general formulas of the operating characteristic function, average fraction inspected, average sample number and average outgoing quality in n-level skip-lot sampling plan are derived. The operating characteristic curves, average sample number and average outgoing quality of a reference plan, two-level and five-level skip-lot sampling plans are compared.
