The quality loss function assumes a fixed target and only accounts for immediate issues within manufacturing facilities whereas warranty loss occurs during customer use. Based on the two independent variables, product performance and consumers’ expectation, a methodology to predict the probability of customer complaint is presented in this paper. The formulation presented will serve as a basic ...

This paper considers estimation of normal mean ? when the variance is unknown, using the LINEX loss function. The unique Bayes estimate of ? is obtained when the precision parameter has an Inverse Gaussian prior density

This paper proposes a decentralized robust constrained cost fuzzy controller (DRCCFC) design for nonlinear descriptor interconnected systems (DIS) with uncertainties. The considered DIS is modeled using Takagi–Sugeno model (T-S FM) rules and strong interconnections. To derive sufficient stability conditions, the quadratic Lyapunov function (QLF) free-weighting (FWF) are defined. In contrast to ...

in this research, the effect of different storage conditions (cold, semi technical and traditional storages) at 180 days after storage on the qualitative and quantitive properties of garlic populations were investigated. white and pink populations were packaged in wooden boxes and net pockets and factors i. e. weight loss, moisture content, spoilage, firmness and total pyruvic acid were measure...

Based on Grey System Theory and the inverted normal quality gain–loss function, grey function model is put forward. According to constant compensation hyperbolic tangent compensation, with nominal-type characteristics, larger-the-better characteristics smaller-the-better built. A multivariate multiple sub indexes concept of cost are proposed. Case analysis applied control dam concrete construct...

In this paper, we develop an optimization model for the economic design of repetitive sampling plan in the presence of two markets. The process under consideration produces a product with a normally distributed quality characteristic with unknown mean and known variance. The quality characteristic has a lower specification limit. The quality of the product is controlled via lot-by-lot acceptanc...

In this paper, we propose a robust technique that integrates spatial and temporal information for consistent recovery of the endocardium. To account for the low image quality we introduce a local variant of the Mumford-Shah that is coupled with a model of limited parameters to describe the ventricle, namely an ellipse. The objective function is defined on the implicit space of ellipses, separat...

In this paper, we examine a joint lot-sizing and process investment problem with random yield and backorders. We allow for inspection and develop stochastic models which provide the optimal inspection and lot-sizing policy as well as the optimal process investment for variance reduction. The process quality loss profile around the target is captured via a modification of the Reflected Normal lo...

Image and video sensing data in the Multimedia Wireless Sensor Networks make many requirements in the resource of bandwidth and energy. For the purpose of real-time transmission of multimedia data, this paper proposes a new QoS protocol applied to Multimedia Wireless Sensor Networks--REAR. In this protocol metadata is used to establish multi-path routing for reduce the energy consumption and a ...
