Statistical process control (SPC) is an approach to process control that has been widely used in any industrial or non-industrial fields. SPC is based on so called Shewhart ́s conception of the process variability. This conception distinguishes variability caused by obviously effected common causes (process is considered to be statistically stable) from variability caused by abnormal assignable ...

The common consideration on economic model is that there is knowledge about the risk of occurrence of an assignable cause and the various cost parameters that does not always adequately describe what happens in practice. Hence, there is a need for more realistic assumptions to be incorporated. In order to reduce cost penalties for not knowing the true values of some parameters, this paper aims ...

Software process lines provide a systematic approach to develop and manage software processes. A process line defines a reference process containing general process assets, whereas a well-defined customization approach allows process engineers to create new process variants, e.g., by extending or modifying process assets. Variability operations are an instrument to realize flexibility in the V-...

This talk will introduce the idea that talent development is related to learning where learning is the physiological process of neuro-plastic changes in the brain. To develop talents, individuals must move from novice or beginner’s status to expertise levels of knowledge or skills in a particular domain. Learning depends on maximizing an individual’s potential through the experience...

Context: The increasing adoption of process-aware information systems (PAISs) such as workflow management systems, enterprise resource planning systems, or case management systems, together with the high variability in business processes (e.g., sales processes may vary depending on the respective products and countries), has resulted in large industrial process model repositories. To cope with ...

In some statistical process control applications, the quality of the product is characterized by thecombination of both correlated variable and attributes quality characteristics. In this paper, we propose anovel control scheme based on the combination of two multi-layer perceptron neural networks forsimultaneous monitoring of mean vector as well as the covariance matrix in multivariate-attribu...
