Economic design of a complete inspection plan with interactive quality improvement

Article Abstract:

A model for designing a complete and economically viable inspection plan with interactive quality improvement is presented. It is applicable to an ongoing production process with an in-control and an out-of-control state. An out-of-control signal is noted when a product's quality characteristic exceeds a predetermined action limit, for which remedial action or a learning action can either be taken. The model determines the optimal action limit and the optimal number of learning actions to be taken. Since it allows the use of complete inspection, outgoing quality and minimal expected discount cost are both assured.

Statistical quality control and improvement

Article Abstract:

Statistical analysis and methods, particularly statistical process control (SPC) and industrial experimentation, have had major contributions to quality control and improvement. The increased application of these methods can be considered the most significant development in modern quality control in the past few years. A total quality approach environment needs to be created to achieve best results from SPC and other statistical methods.

Autonomous search for mines

Article Abstract:

A search strategy design may be used to guide autonomous agents or robots in their search for mines. The design involves the use of Simplified Infinite Horizon Optimization (SIHO) algorithm that aims to guide an autonomous agent to look for a closest location where the likelihood of finding a mine is high. Utilization of simulation strategy revealed SIHO algorithm's effectiveness in terms of greedy or random search.
