control chart is the most well-known chart to monitor the number of nonconformities per inspection unit where each sample consists of constant size. generally, the design of a control chart requires determination of sample size, sampling interval, and control limits width. optimally selecting these parameters depends on several process parameters, which have been considered from statistical and...

Control charts are the most important tools of statistical process control used to discriminate between assignable and common causes of variation and to improve the quality of a process. To design a control chart, three parameters including sample size, sampling interval, and control limits should be determined. The objectives are hourly expected cost, in-control average run length, power of th...

This paper proposes a multi-objective model for the economic-statistical design of the variable sample size and sampling interval multivariate exponentially weighted moving average control chart by using double warning lines. The Markov chain approach is used to obtain the statistical properties. We extend the Lorenzen and Vance cost function considering multiple assignable causes and multivari...

Cumulative Count of Conforming (CCC) charts are utilized for monitoring the quality characteristics in high-quality processes. Executive cost of control charts is a motivation for researchers to design them with the lowest cost. Usually in most researches, only one objective named cost function is minimized subject to statistical constraints, which is not effective method for economic-statistic...

In this research, we propose a bi-objective model for the economic-statistical design of the X-bar and S control charts. The model minimizes out-of-control average time to signal as well as minimizing mean hourly loss-cost where it incorporates the Taguchi loss function. Statistical constraint is considered in the model to achieve desired in-control time to signal. A non-dominated sort...

in this paper, a novel multi-objective bus stop location model is proposed, which considers not only the coverage of demand and minimization of access time but also the necessities of suitable stops for transit network design phase. three objective functions are considered including minimizing (i) sum of the total access distance (time), (ii) the weighted combination of stops, and (iii) the num...

the present paper aims to investigate the effects of modularity and the layout of subsystems and parts of a complex system on its maintainability. for this purpose, four objective functions have been considered simultaneously: i) maximizing the level of accordance between system design and optimum modularity design,ii) maximizing the level of accessibility and the maintenance space required,iii...
