IN ORDER THAT STATISTICAL QUALITY CONTROL CONCEPTS MAY BE PROPERLY USED WHERE APPLICABLE, THE FIRST PART OF THIS REPORT CONSIDERS THE GENERAL THEORY UNDERLYING THE USE OF STATISTICAL CONTROL METHODS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF ACCEPTANCE PLANS WHICH MAY BE USED IN THE HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. THE SECOND PORTION OF THE REPORT IS CONCERNED WITH ANALYZING AND COMPARING KENTUCKY'S CURRENT SPECIFICATION REQUIREMENTS WITH TYPICAL QUALITY CONTROL REQUIREMENTS ESTABLISHED USING BASIC STATISTICAL THEORY. SPECIFICATIONS USED BY SOME OTHER AGENCIES WHICH ARE BASED ON STATISTICAL PRINCIPLES ARE PRESENTED TO ILLUSTRATE THE USE BEING MADE OF THIS TYPE OF ACCEPTANCE PLAN. /AUTHOR/
