IIE Transactions archives from April 2009
Bootstrap-based design of residual control charts.(Report)
April 1, 2009... 1. Introduction
Control charts are widely used for monitoring process and quality improvement (see, Montgomery (2004)). Most statistical process control techniques assume that consecutive observations from a process are independent and...
Genetic-algorithm-based optimal apportionment of reliability and redundancy under multiple objectives.(Report)
April 1, 2009... 1. Introduction
Reliability optimization is very important in system design. Usually, a single-objective optimization model is formulated. For example, system reliability may be maximized subject to resource constraints, or cost may be...
A study of two-dimensional warranty policies with preventive maintenance.(Report)
April 1, 2009... 1. Introduction
Suppose a product deteriorates both with time and with usage. For an elapsed time t, let T(t) denote the cumulative operating time, and X(t) denote usage degree, where the cumulative operating time is a measure of the total...
Process capability surrogate model-based tolerance synthesis for multi-station manufacturing systems.(Report)
April 1, 2009... 1. Introduction
Dimensional variation control is one of the most challenging problems in mechanical assemblies, in particular, in multi-station assembly systems, such as in automotive and aerospace industries. A typical automotive body...
Quality-assured setup planning based on the Stream-of-variation model for multi-stage machining processes.(Report)
April 1, 2009... 1. Introduction
Process planning is the systematic determination of the steps by which a product is manufactured. It is a key element that bridges activities in design and manufacturing. In the past decades, process planning and its...
Detecting outliers in complex profiles using a [[chi].sup.2] control chart method.(Report)
April 1, 2009... The quality of products or manufacturing processes is sometimes characterized by profiles or functions. A method is proposed to identify outlier profiles among a set of complex profiles which are difficult to model with explicit functions. It...
Bayesian approaches for on-line robust parameter design.(Report)
April 1, 2009... 1. Introduction
Robust Parameter Design (RPD), a methodology introduced by Taguchi (1986), has been widely employed for designing products and processes that are robust against environmental effects. The method consists in determining the...
Residual-life estimation for components with non-symmetric priors.(Report)
April 1, 2009... 1. Introduction
Condition monitoring uses sensory information from a functioning device to evaluate its health. The evolution of this sensory information often exhibits characteristic patterns that reflect the underlying physical...
