The generalized yield index CT pk establishes the relationship between the manufacturing specifications and the actual process performance, which provides a lower bound on process yield for two-sided processes with multiple characteristics. The results attended are very practical for industrial application. In this article, we extended the results in cases with one-sided specification and multi...

This study examined the effect of agriculture faculty training in and practice of methodologies to explicitly teach critical thinking skills related to course content and subsequent change in student critical thinking disposition. Twelve instructors in 14 agriculture courses underwent a year–long program of instruction in effective critical thinking development. Students completed the Universit...

Generally, an industrial product has more than one quality characteristic. In order to establish performance measures for evaluating the capability of a multivariate manufacturing process, several multivariate process capability indices have been developed based on the assumption of normality. Quality characteristics of many manufacturing processes in the chemical, pharmaceutical and electronic...

Process capability indices PCIs aim to quantify the capability of a process of quality characteristic X tomeet some specifications that are related to ameasurable characteristic of its produced items. One such quality characteristic is life time of items. The specifications are determined through the lower specification limit L , the upper specification limit U , and the target value T . Maiti ...
