Twenty-five oil density samples with normal distribution were randomly collected, and each sample consisted of four items. Analysis indicated that the levels of sigma employed in Aden refinery are less than 3 σ. The results of this study suggested that the -X chart based on six sigma estimation method is significant to reduce variance in the oil density characteristic. In addition, the sigma levels increase when the process capability increases. Thus, the increment in sigma levels leads to improvements in the performance of the process refinery of oil density characteristic. Finally, this paper provides the necessary fundamentals and knowledge for quality control researchers and engineers to reduce variances by using Six Sigma.","PeriodicalId":38209,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Quality Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46924756","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 order to provide good classification accuracy for the decision function, a novel approach based on support vector machine and extreme learning machine is developed. SVM mixture model is used to model the data distribution, which is adapted to handle missing values, while extreme learning machine enables to devise a multiple imputation strategy for final estimation. In order to prove the efficiency of our proposed method, we have developed the classifier using the condition monitoring observations from milk pasteurisation data. The experiments show that the proposed algorithm gives improved results compared to recent methods, essentially if the number of missing data is significant. The results show that our approach can perfectly detect dysfunction, identify the fault, and is strong in unsupervised process monitoring.","PeriodicalId":38209,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Quality Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49520008","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}

Using quality engineering and technology tools and techniques, can we continue to improve quality indefinitely, inching toward the limit of quality ever so infinitesimally? This paper presents a postulation of an asymptomatic approach to the limit of quality based on the mathematical reasoning of pi. While there is no mathematical correlation of pi to the physical quality of a product, it is interesting and inspirational to conduct research on the move toward the best possible point on the quality curve. In this regard, the motivational question is 'what is the limit of quality?' The methodology of this paper suggests some interesting analogies.","PeriodicalId":38209,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Quality Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48329288","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}

With a long period of coverage, however, the expected number of failures and the associated costs are likely to add up. Hence, maintenance policies over a lifetime warranty can have a substantial impact on warranty servicing costs. Maintenance policies impose additional costs and would be worthy only if the reduction amount in total costs due to maintenance is greater than maintenance costs. The focus of this paper is on modelling preventive maintenance during a lifetime warranty in order to derive optimal maintenance policy and optimal level of repair based on the structures of a cost function and a failure rate function. Our investigation demonstrates that the optimal strategy for preventive maintenance can be achieved by considering minor repairs during early ages and marginal repairs near the end of a product life. Numerical examples are provided to evaluate our developed models and support the corresponding results.","PeriodicalId":38209,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Quality Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66692714","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 traditional PCI does not account for the loss in quality when product characteristics fail to achieve their process target value. This research, in contrast, proposes indices, namely posterior PCIs, that consider the underlying result of observations after inspection. Utilising a truncated distribution as the basis for measurement along with a target-based quality loss function for capability analyses, several posterior indices are developed in this paper. A simulation technique is implemented to compare the proposed posterior PCIs with traditional measures. Finally, the confidence interval approximations for the posterior PCIs are derived. Our results suggest using the proposed posterior indices for capability analyses when industrial processes require that non-conforming products be scrapped prior to shipping to the customer.","PeriodicalId":38209,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Quality Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66692810","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}

Due to the fact that the Bayesian control charts in a univariate can be effective on performance of control charts, this paper has proposed the multivariate Bayesian control chart based on economic and economic-statistical design. As finding distribution of Bayesian statistic is too difficult, the Monte Carlo method has been employed in order to determine design optimum parameters (sample size, sampling interval and control limit). Also, artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm has been applied to search for the optimal design parameters. Ultimately, the performance of the proposed control chart and Hotelling's T2 were compared for more in-depth investigation.","PeriodicalId":38209,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Quality Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJQET.2016.081638","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66692637","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}

What appears to be cost-effective or cheap in the present scenario may proof to be costly (or even disastrous) in the long run of market share with respect to customer perception. This paper presents an application of the equity breakeven point technique for graphical analysis of quality investments. The mathematical derivation of the equity breakeven point indicates the time when the unpaid balance on a capital investment is equal to the cumulative equity in the investment, thereby providing an a-priori insight into how long it might take to retire an investment loan on the strength of the accrued equity. This type of knowledge is useful for negotiating the terms of acquiring and/or managing large quality-oriented projects, with expected long-term impacts.","PeriodicalId":38209,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Quality Engineering and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1504/IJQET.2016.081632","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66692573","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}

So far, only a small number of failure time distributions such as exponential, gamma and Weibull with fixed or increasing hazard rates have been used as shock models. However, from both theoretical and practical aspects, processes under study may not have fixed or increasing hazard rates. A proper alternative is the Burr XII distribution which its hazard rate can be fixed, increasing, decreasing, single mode or even U-shaped. In this research paper, economic and economic statistical designs of -X control charts under the Burr XII shock models were proposed and constructed.
