The paper presents an economical model for double variable acceptance sampling with inspection errors. Taguchi cost function is used as acceptance cost while quality specification functions are normal with known variance. An optimization model is developed for double variables acceptance sampling scheme at the presence of inspection errors with either constant or monotone value functions. The m...

When a MIL..STD-lOSD sampling scheme is used for a long period, some lots will be subjected to normal, some to reduced, and some to tightened inspection. This paper provides for several single sampling plans and various quality levels,tthe expected fraction oflots rejected,the expected sample size per lot, and the expected number oflots to be processed before sampling inspection must be discont...

During abattoir meat inspection pig carcasses are partially or fully condemned upon detection of disease that poses a risk to public health or welfare conditions that cause animal suffering e.g. fractures. This incurs direct financial losses to producers and processors. Other health and welfare-related conditions may not result in condemnation but can necessitate 'trimming' of the carcass e.g. ...

This report summarizes the first year's effort to develop more sensitive techniques for detecting and evaluating flaws in graphite. On the basis of preliminary studies, it was concluded that the potential areas of improvement in the state-of-the-art lay both in the interrogative and interpretative aspects of NDT that is in the techniques of introducing the test energy and generating the test si...

As research has turned to the success of artificial intelligence augment inspection process, need for image data is particularly present. However, across structural and health monitoring literature, it commonly noted that scarce. Thus, we have procured most extensive collection datasets in field. We compiled a eighty-six papers with pertaining machine learning algorithms. This lake provides an ...

in this paper we focus on a continuously deteriorating two units series equipment which its failure can not be measured by cost criterion. for these types of systems avoiding failure during the actual operation of the system is extremely important. in this paper we determine inspection periods and maintenance policy in such a way that failure probability is limited to a pre-specified value and ...
