Greetings Lang,
A zero acceptance number is one possible result from the design of a sampling plan. In scientific sampling, instead of starting with the result, you start by defining the objective of the sampling plan in terms of its operating characteristic curve. Then you calculate the decision rule statistically.
For further explaination, examine paragraph (2) "Design Method" here:
