An approximate economically optimal inspection interval for production processes with finite run length
نویسندگان
چکیده
Increased competition on the global market forces producers to follow policies leading to finite production runs. This situation requires implementation of a new type of inspection procedures with the aim to improve or sustain production quality levels. One of the most important aspects in the design of inspection processes is the specification of inspection intervals. This paper provides a simple procedure to determine an approximate optimal inspection interval h for a given inspection plan, characterized by its probability of type-I error α and probability of type-II error β, for processes with finite run length.

Optimal production run length and inspection schedules in a deteriorating production process
This paper presents an economic manufacturing quantity model which determines an optimal production run length and inspection schedules simultaneously in a deteriorating production process. It is assumed that a production process is subject to a random deterioration from the in-control state to the out-of-control state and, thus, produces some proportion of defective items. An optimal productio...
متن کاملLot sizing with rework and different inspection costs
This paper deals with the single machine multi-product lot scheduling problem in which defective items are produced in any production run of each product. We have adopted the common cycle scheduling policy and assumed that the setup times for production of each product can be non-zero. Further, we have assumed that defective items will be reworked and the inspection costs during the normal prod...
متن کاملOptimal Process Adjustment under Inspection Errors Considering the Cycle Time of Production
Process adjustment, also known as process targeting, is one of the classical problems in the field of quality control and production economics. In the process adjustment problem, it is assumed that process parameters are variables and the aim is to determine these parameters such that certain economic criteria are optimally satisfied. The aim of this paper is to determine the optimal process ad...
متن کاملConfidence Interval Estimation of the Mean of Stationary Stochastic Processes: a Comparison of Batch Means and Weighted Batch Means Approach (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Suppose that we have one run of n observations of a stochastic process by means of computer simulation and would like to construct a condifence interval for the steady-state mean of the process. Seeking for independent observations, so that the classical statistical methods could be applied, we can divide the n observations into k batches of length m (n= k.m) or alternatively, transform the cor...
متن کاملMaintainability Policy for Deteriorating System with Inspection and Common Cause Failure (TECHNICAL NOTE)
A condition based preventive and corrective maintenance policy is proposed for a continuously operating system. The condition of the system is assumed to deteriorate with time. The model incorporates both deterioration as well as random common cause failures. The deterioration stages are modeled as discrete state processes. The system is put to random inspection to know the condition. The mean ...
