In this paper, a new acceptance-sampling plan has been introduced for the two-stage process for multiple lines under the neutrosophic statistics. The parameters of the proposed sampling plan have been determined by satisfying the given risks using the optimization solution under the neutrosophic statistical interval method (NSIM) Using the specific producer’s and consumer’s risks, the parameters of the proposed plan have also been determined under neutrosophic operating function (NOF). The comparison based on the sample size of the proposed and the existing plans has been given at different plan parameters. The tables are provided, and an industrial example is illustrated for the practical use of the proposed sampling plan. The comparison reveals that the proposed plan is more efficient, flexible, and adequate to be used under uncertainty.
