IIE Transactions archives from August 2006
Incentive maintenance outsourcing contracts for channel coordination and improvement.
August 1, 2006... 1. Introduction
Effective channel coordination is essential if an organization is to succeed in today's highly competitive business environment. In the last two decades, channel coordination issues in supply chains have received...
A Bayesian method for robust tolerance control and parameter design.
August 1, 2006... 1. Introduction: Tolerance control
In engineering design, the limits that define the acceptable quality of a product are called tolerance or specification limits. The problem of setting these limits based on different criteria is known as...
Interpreting [T.sup.2] control chart signals: effectiveness of MTY decomposition vs. a neural network.
August 1, 2006... 1. Introduction
The quality control techniques currently used in industry are aimed at the detection of changes in the production process that result in quality defects. Quality control charts are currently the most widely adopted control...
Detecting improvement using Shewhart attribute control charts when the lower control limit is zero.(Report)
August 1, 2006... 1. Introduction
Perhaps the primary use of a control chart lies in the monitoring of the quality of a stable process. Using the terminology of Deming (1991) a stable process can be described as one in which special causes of variability...
Economic development of specifications for 100% inspection based on asymmetric quality loss functions.
August 1, 2006... 1. Introduction
Commercial airlines serve millions of customers every day of the year. Current industry best practice is to inspect each individual passenger and their luggage, rather than relying on a sampling inspection regime that is...
Multivariate one-sided control charts.
August 1, 2006... 1. Introduction
Multivariate control charts such as chi-squared, Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (MEWMA) and multivariate CUmulative SUM (CUSUM) charts are sensitive to shifts of the process mean vector in any direction...
Quality yield measure for processes with asymmetric tolerances.
August 1, 2006... 1. Introduction
Process capability indices (PCIs) are widely used in manufacturing industries, to provide a numerical measure on whether or not a process is capable of producing items that meet a preset quality requirement. Kane (1986)...
