This article derives a statistical procedure to estimate the optimal Preventive Maintenance (PM) periodic policy, under the following two assumptions: (i) perfect repair at each PM action (i.e., the system returns to the as-good-as-new state) and (ii) imperfect system repair after each failure (the system returns to an intermediate state between as bad as old and as good as new). Models for imperfect repair have already been presented in the literature. However, an inference procedure for the quantities of interest has not yet been fully studied. In the present article, statistical methods, including the likelihood function, Monte Carlo simulation, and bootstrap resampling methods, are used in order to (i) estimate the degree of efficiency of a repair and (ii) obtain the optimal PM check points that minimize the expected total cost. This study was motivated by a real situation involving the maintenance of engines in off-road vehicles.","PeriodicalId":13379,"journal":{"name":"IIE Transactions","volume":"48 1","pages":"747 - 758"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0740817X.2016.1147663","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59754859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of live cells introduces several operational challenges including batch-to-batch variability, parallel growth of both desired antibodies and unwanted toxic byproducts in the same batch, and random shocks leading to multiple competing failure processes. In this article, we develop a stochastic model that integrates the cell-level dynamics of biological processes with operational dynamics to identify optimal harvesting policies that balance the risks of batch failures and yield/quality tradeoffs in fermentation operations. We develop an infinite horizon, discrete-time Markov decision model to derive the structural properties of the optimal harvesting policies. We use IgG1 antibody production as an example to demonstrate the optimal harvesting policy and compare its performance against harvesting policies used in practice. We leverage insights from the optimal policy to propose smart stationary policies that are easier to implement in practice.","PeriodicalId":13379,"journal":{"name":"IIE Transactions","volume":"48 1","pages":"440 - 461"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0740817X.2015.1101523","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59752373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sufficient diagnosability for process faults is a challenging issue, as the sensors cannot be excessively used. Therefore, there have been a number of methods reported in the literature for the optimization of the diagnosability of a diagnostic method for a given sensor cost, thus allowing the identification of process faults incurred in multi-station assembly processes. However, most of these methods assume that the number of sensors is more than that of the process errors. Unfortunately, this assumption may not hold in many real industrial applications. Thus, the diagnostic methods have to solve underdetermined linear equations. In order to address this issue, we propose an optimal sensor placement method by devising a new diagnosability criterion based on compressive sensing theory, which is able to handle underdetermined linear equations. Our method seeks the optimal sensor placement by minimizing the average mutual coherence to maximize the diagnosability. The proposed method is demonstrated and validated through case studies from actual industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":13379,"journal":{"name":"IIE Transactions","volume":"48 1","pages":"462 - 474"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0740817X.2015.1096431","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59752767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ever-increasing complexity of software systems makes it extremely difficult to ensure software reliability, and this problem has drawn considerable attention from both industry and academia. Most software reliability models are built on a common assumption that the detected faults are immediately corrected; thus, the fault detection and correction processes can be regarded as the same process. In this article, a comprehensive study is conducted to analyze the time dependencies between the fault detection and correction processes. The model parameters are estimated using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) method, which is based on an explicit likelihood function combining both the fault detection and correction processes. Numerical case studies are conducted under the proposed modeling framework. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed MLE method can be applied to more general situations and provide more accurate results. Furthermore, the predictive capability of the MLE method is compared with that of the Least Squares Estimation (LSE) method. The prediction results indicate that the proposed MLE method performs better than the LSE method when the data are not large in size or are collected in the early phase of software testing.","PeriodicalId":13379,"journal":{"name":"IIE Transactions","volume":"48 1","pages":"359 - 370"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0740817X.2015.1096432","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59752608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the new model, hard failure occurs when transmitted system shocks are large enough to cause any component in a series system to fail immediately, soft failure occurs when any component deteriorates to a certain failure threshold, and system shocks affect both failure processes for all components. Our new research extends previous reliability models that had dependent failure processes, where the dependency was only because of the shared number of shock exposures and not the shock effects associated with individual system shocks. Dependency of transmitted shock sizes and shock damages to the specific failure processes for all components has not been sufficiently considered, and yet for some actual examples, this can be important. In practice, the effects of shock damages to the multiple failure processes among components are often dependent. In this article, we combine both probabilistic and physical degradation modeling concepts to develop the new system reliability model. Four different dependent patterns/scenarios of shock effects on multiple failure processes for all components are considered for series systems. This represents a significant extension from previous research because it is more realistic yet also more difficult for reliability modeling. The model is demonstrated by severalexamples.","PeriodicalId":13379,"journal":{"name":"IIE Transactions","volume":"48 1","pages":"720 - 735"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0740817X.2016.1140922","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59754300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article considers a general type of PMS consisting of subsystems connected in series, where each subsystem contains components with different capacities. The components within the same subsystem are divided into several disjoint work-sharing groups (WSGs). The capacity of each WSG is equal to the summation of the capacities of its working components, and the capacity of each subsystem is equal to the capacity of the WSG with the maximum capacity. The system capacity is bottlenecked by the capacity of the subsystem with the minimum capacity. The system survives the mission only if its capacity meets the predetermined mission demand in all phases. Such PMSs can be commonly found in the power transmission and telecommunication industries. A universal generating function–based method is first proposed for the reliability analysis of the capacitated series-parallel PMSs with the consideration of imperfect fault coverage. As different partitions of the WSGs inside a subsystem can lead to different system reliabilities, the optimal structure that maximizes the system reliability is investigated. Examples are presented to illustrate the proposed reliability evaluation method and optimization procedure.","PeriodicalId":13379,"journal":{"name":"IIE Transactions","volume":"48 1","pages":"736 - 746"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0740817X.2016.1146424","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59755153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The robot has a buffer space that moves with it. Identical parts are to be produced repetitively in this flowshop environment.

After developing the necessary framework to analyze such cells, we separately consider the single-, double-, and infinite-capacity buffer cases. For single- and double-capacity cases, consistent with the literature, we consider one-unit cycles that produce a single part in one repetition. We compare these cycles with each other and determine the set of undominated cycles. For the single-capacity case, we determine the parameter regions where each cycle is optimal, whereas for the double-capacity case, we determine efficient cycles and their worst-case performance bounds. For the infinite-capacity buffer case, we define a new class of cycles that better utilizes the benefits of the buffer space. We derive all such cycles and determine the set of undominated ones.We perform a computational study where we investigate the benefits of robots with a buffer space and the effects of the size of the buffer space on the performance.

A manufacturer selects among multiple technologies with different unit production costs and emissions allowance consumption rates to produce the product to meet independently distributed random market demands. The manufacturer receives an emissions allowance at the beginning of the planning horizon and is allowed to trade allowances through an outside market in each of the following periods. To solve the dynamic multi-technology production-inventory problem, we virtually separate the problem into an inner layer and an outer layer. Based on the structural properties of the two layers, we find that the optimal emissions trading policy follows a target interval policy with two thresholds, whereas the optimal production policy has a composite base-stock structure. Our theoretical results show that no more than two technologies should be selected simultaneously at any state. However, different groups of technologies may be selected at different states. Our numerical tests confirm that it can be economically beneficial for a manufacturer to maintain multiple available technologies.","PeriodicalId":13379,"journal":{"name":"IIE Transactions","volume":"48 1","pages":"110 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0740817X.2015.1011357","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"59749512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
