Optimal Process Adjustment with Considering Variable Costs for Uni-variate and Multi-variate Production Process (RESEARCH NOTE)

author

Abstract:

This paper studies a single-stage production system, two-stage production system where specification limits are designed for inspection. When quality characteristics fall below a lower threshold or above an upper threshold, a decision is made to rework or scrap the item. The target is to determine the optimum target for a process based on rework or scrap costs. In contrast to previous studies, costs are not assumed to be constant. This paper provides Markovian model for optimum process target levels. Numerical examples are performed to illustrate the application of the proposed method.

Application of Decision on Beliefs for Fault Detection in uni-variate Statistical Process Control

In this research, the decision on belief (DOB) approach was employed to analyze and classify the states of uni-variate quality control systems. The concept of DOB and its application in decision making problems were introduced, and then a methodology for modeling a statistical quality control problem by DOB approach was discussed. For this iterative approach, the belief for a system being out-...

Matrix-Variate Dirichlet Process Priors with Applications

In this paper we propose a matrix-variate Dirichlet process (MATDP) for modeling the joint prior of a set of random matrices. Our approach is able to share statistical strength among regression coe cient matrices due to the clustering property of the Dirichlet process. Moreover, since the base probability measure is de ned as a matrix-variate distribution, the dependence among the elements of e...

Multi-variate Quickest Detection of Significant Change Process

The paper deals with a mathematical model of a surveillance system based on a net of sensors. The signals acquired by each node of the net are Markovian process, have two different transition probabilities, which depends on the presence or absence of a intruder nearby. The detection of the transition probability change at one node should be confirmed by a detection of similar change at some oth...

A Markov Model to Determine Optimal Equipment Adjustment in Multi-stage Production Systems Considering Variable Cost

Our aim is to maximize expected profit per item of a multi-stage production system by determining best adjustment points of the equipments used based on technical product specifications defined by designer. In this system, the quality characteristics of items produced should be within lower and higher tolerance limits. When a quality characteristic of an item either falls beneath the lower li...

Matrix-Variate Dirichlet Process Mixture Models

We are concerned with a multivariate response regression problem where the interest is in considering correlations both across response variates and across response samples. In this paper we develop a new Bayesian nonparametric model for such a setting based on Dirichlet process priors. Building on an additive kernel model, we allow each sample to have its own regression matrix. Although this o...
