this paper focuses on the non-fragile guaranteed cost control problem for a class of t-s fuzzy time-varying delay systems with local bilinear models. the objective is to design a non-fragile guaranteed cost state feedback controller via the parallel distributed compensation (pdc) approach such that the closed-loop system is delay-dependent asymptotically stable and the closed-loop performance i...

Acceptance control charts are effective tools tomonitor capable processes in which the fraction of the produced nonconforming items is very low. In these charts, some controlled changes in the process mean are allowed, and the production of a specified number of defectives is tolerated. Designing these acceptance control charts by considering the cost of sampling, detecting, and investigating o...

The memory-type control charts, such as EWMA and CUSUM, are powerful tools for detecting small quality changes in univariate and multivariate processes. Many papers on economic design of these control charts use the formula proposed by Lorenzen and Vance (1986) [Lorenzen, T. J., & Vance, L. C. (1986). The economic design of control charts: A unified approach. Technometrics, 28(1), 3-10, DOI: 10...

Statistical process control (SPC) has been used to achieve and maintain control of various processes in industry (Stoumbos, Reynolds, Ryan, and Woodall 2000). The control chart is a primary SPC tool to monitor process variability and promote quality improvement by means of detecting process shifts requiring corrective actions. As a graphical monitor, control charts generally contain a centerlin...

This study evaluated the preparation of Shewhart's control charts using the concept of rational subgroups for monitoring the Salmonella antibody ELISA used for surveillance of Danish pig herds. Control charts were prepared for a buffer control sample, a negative serum sample and a positive serum sample. The quality control variables were the natural logarithm (In) of the uncalibrated optical de...
