Abstract
In this paper, a generalization of the Harris family of distributions, namely, the Harris generalized linear exponential distribution is discussed. The use of the model is established by fitting it to a real data set. Also, we derive a reliability test plan for acceptance or rejection of a lot of products submitted for inspection with lifetimes following this distribution.
