IIE Transactions archives from August 2007
Detecting multiple special causes from multivariate data with applications to fault detection in manufacturing.(Author abstract)
August 1, 2007... 1. Introduction
In recent years, there has been substantial growth in the use of automated in-process sensing and data-capture technologies. This proliferation of technology has resulted in many manufacturers collecting large numbers of...
Performance and reliability of a star topology grid service with data dependency and two types of failure.
August 1, 2007... 1. Introduction
Grid computing (Foster and Kesselman, 2003) is a new technology developed for complex systems with large-scale resource sharing, wide-area communication, and multiinstitutional collaboration etc, see e.g., Kumar (2000), Das...
A data mining approach to process optimization without an explicit quality function.(Author abstract)
August 1, 2007... 1. Introduction
We consider a process optimization that finds the optimal setting of process variables from historical data so as to achieve higher quality products. The common approach to process optimization is as follows; (i) build a...
Taguchi's approach to robust parameter design: a new perspective.
August 1, 2007... 1. Introduction
Taguchi has proposed various performance measures known as Signal-to-Noise (SN) ratios for evaluating the performance of engineering systems (see Taguchi and Wu (1980), and Taguchi (1991a)). Most of them are criticized in...
An efficient method for reliability evaluation of multistate networks given all minimal path vectors.
August 1, 2007... Notation
n = the number of components in the network;
[M.sub.i] = an integer value representing the maximum state or maximum capacity of component i, [M.sub.i] [greater than or equal to] 1, i = 1, 2,..., N;
s = the source node;...
Optimal reliability, warranty and price for new products.
August 1, 2007... 1. Introduction
Products are becoming increasingly complex resulting in customers often being uncertain about the performance of these products. The willingness of a consumer to pay a high price depends on he/she being convinced about...
