Process quality and delivery time have received increasing attention in the highly competitive electronics industry. Many studies have proposed process capability indices (PCIs) to assess process effectiveness. However, methods to assess the performance in terms of processing and delivery times of products have seldom been discussed. The conventional PCIs can no longer assess the processing tim...

A multiplex is a kind of urban cultural facilities which not only has several different rooms for showing films, but also provides other services such as a wide range of food and drink stores and free/easy available parking. Multiplexes have significant cultural, economic and social characteristics. Given the importance and advantages of multiplexes, several multiplex buildings have been built ...

This paper reviews neuro-fuzzy systems, which combine methods from neural network theory with fuzzy systems. Such combinations have been considered for several years already. However, the term neuro-fuzzy still lacks proper deenition, and still has the avour of a buzzword to it. Surprisingly few neuro-fuzzy approaches do actually employ neural networks, even though they are very often depicted ...

the aim of this study was to develop an optimal sustainable forest plantation based on goal programming and analytic hierarchy process (ahp) methods. this study was carried out in guilan province, north of iran. first of all, the ecological capability of the study area for plantation establishment/maintenance was evaluated based on multi-factor method and specific ecological makhdoum model by m...

Process capability indices CPU and CPL have been widely used in the microelectronics manufacturing industry as capability measures for processes with one-sided specification limits. In this paper, the theory of statistical hypothesis testing is implemented for normal processes, using the uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimators of CPU and CPL. Efficient SAS computer programs are provided ...

Process capability indices (PCIs) have been widely used in industries for assessing the capability of manufacturing processes. Castagliola and Castellanos (Quality Technology and Quantitative Management 2005, 2(2):201–220), viewing that there were no clear links between the definition of the existing multivariate PCIs and theoretical proportion of nonconforming product items, defined a bivariat...

In the manufacturing industry, many product characteristics are of one-sided tolerances. The process capability indices C p (u, v) and C l p(u, v) can be used to measure process performance. Most research work related to capability indices assumes no gauge measurement errors. This assumption insufficiently reflects real situations even when advanced measuring instruments are used. In this paper...

Three dimensional object extraction and recognition (OER) from geographic data has been definitely one of more important topic in photogrammetry for quite a long time. Today, the capability of rapid generating high-density DSM increases the supply of geographic information but the discrete nature of the measuring makes more difficult to recognize correctly and to extract 3D objects from these s...

To meet the changes of internal and external environment, Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) system needs to have a good flexibility. Flexibility is an indispensable request and is also a way that must be taken during the establishment process of ERP. Flexibility measurement is an important item for the implementation of ERP flexibility. According to the characteristics of ERP system, an index...
