Holistic production control is a concept that introduces production optimisation by employing model-based, closed-loop control of the principal production Performance Indicators (pPIs). The concept relies on...

Breast cancer radioimmunoscintigraphy targeting HER2/neu expression is a growing fieldof work in nuclear medicine research. In this study, trastuzumab was successively labeledwith [67Ga] GaCl3 after conjugation with DOTA-NHS-ester.The conjugates were purified by molecular filtration, the average number ofDOTA conjugated per mAb was calculated and total concentration was determined byspectrophot...

In this paper a multivariate quality control procedure is offered in which several correlated stages are present in production systems and in each stage there are several correlated control variable. Using Hotelling's T2 statistic, first, each stage is tested for being out of control. Then out of control variables are selected using Murphy's method. The remainder of the research involves evalua...

This editorial introduces the special issue of the Springer journal, Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing, on intelligent distributed production control. This special issue contains selected papers presented at the 13th IFAC Symposium on Information Control Problems in Manufacturing— INCOM’2009 (Bakhtadze and Dolgui 2009). The papers in this special issue were selected because of their high qua...

Mechanical properties are the attributes that measure the faculty of a metal to withstand several loads and tensions. Specifically, ultimate tensile strength is the force a material can resist until it breaks and, thus, it is one of the variables to control in the foundry process. The only way to examine this feature is the use of destructive inspections that renders the casting invalid with th...
