IIE Transactions archives from June 2003
Robust designs for quality improvement.
June 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
All processes vary at some level. Robust design methods provide engineers with the means to make products or processes less sensitive to internal and external noise. Internal fluctuations are related to component...
Efficiently solving the redundancy allocation problem using tabu search.
June 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
A well-known and complex reliability design problem is the Redundancy Allocation Problem (RAP). Realistic formulations of the RAP are characterized by a large combinatorial search space with multiple constraints. Generally,...
Multi-state consecutive-k-out-of-n systems.
June 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
In traditional reliability theory, both the system and its components are allowed to take two possible states: either working or failed. In a multi-state system, both the system and its components may experience more than...
Investing in quality under autonomous and induced learning.
June 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
A significant portion of quality related costs is incurred due to variation in process output. Thus, manufacturing companies strive to continually improve processes via reduction in process variation. An important mechanism...
An error rate comparison of classification methods with continuous explanatory variables.
June 1, 2003... 1. Introduction
The classification of objects into groups or supervised learning is a common decision-making requirement. In general, there are two primary approaches to this process of classification. The traditional statistical approach...
