one of the most important problems of the designs proposed by traditional economic-statistical approaches of control charts is inefficiency in the face of uncertainty. uncertainty in the parameters of economic-statistical models may lead to failure in rapidly detecting changes in processes and impose greater costs to the organization. monitoring the machining process in an automotive industry e...

Although service designers have proven their abilities in the fuzzy front end of service development, their skills regarding implementation have been criticised and many service designs are not implemented successfully. So far, there has been little discussion concerning service implementation in service design research and there is potential for further development of this aspect of the design...

This paper presents a component-based product line for workflow management systems. The process followed to design the product line was based on the Catalysis method. Extensions were made to represent variability across the process. The domain of workflow management systems has been shown to be appropriate to the application of the product line approach as there are a standard architecture and ...

Chemical processes are generally modeled through monoscale approaches, which, while not adequate, satisfy a useful role in product-process design. In this case, use of a multi-dimensional and multi-scale model-based approach has importance in product-process development. A computer-aided framework for model generation, analysis, solution and implementation is necessary for the development and a...

Functional design is a process includes function understanding, function recognition, function representation, function modeling and functionto-structure mapping. The effect in TRIZ is extended by multi-pole effect model and effect chain modes, and then the functions and flows in TRIZ are reclassified. The combinative relationships among functions are discussed, and the function modeling based ...

Optimization as an enabling technology has been one of the big success stories in process systems engineering. In this paper we present first a general review of optimization and its applications to a variety of problems in process systems engineering. Next, we provide an overview of two key areas: nonlinear programming and logic-based discrete/continuous optimization. In particular, recent adv...
