CCC-r control chart is a monitoring technique for high yield processes. It is based on the analysis of the number of inspected items until observing a specific number of defective items.  One of the assumptions in implementing CCC-r chart that has a significant effect on the design of the control chart is that the inspection is perfect. However, in reality, due to the multiple reasons, the...

The large quantities of data now being transferred via high-speed networks have made deep packet inspection indispensable for security purposes. Scalable and low-cost signature-based network intrusion detection systems have been developed for deep packet inspection for various software platforms. Traditional approaches that only involve central processing units (CPUs) are now considered inadequ...

Production management aims to maximize profit by increasing salable output while reducing the cost related with inspection, where inspection is defined as the measurement and quality assessment of items produced. This study is based on a semiconductor production line with consecutive deteriorating machines. Each machine is inspected via the items it produces and an inspection result triggers a ...

We often see reputation used by regulators to enhance their regulatory leverage, specifically through the implicit threat that a discovered violation today will result in increased inspection intensity in the future. This paper uses the Harford and Harrington (1991) model as the basis to develop a regulatory game in which the regulator commits to an inspection regime based on reputation and fir...
