Selection of the Optimal Precision Level and Target Value for a Production Process: The Lower-Specification-Limit Case

Determination of the guardbanding to ensure acceptable risk decision in the declaration of conformity

“…and ϕ(.) represent the cumulative distribution and probability density functions of the standard normal distribution, respectively [9]. Using the following identity,…”

The optimum common process mean and screening limits for a production process with multiple products

“…Elsayed and Chen (1993), Arcelus and Rahim (1994), and Teeravaraprug and Cho (2002) proposed models for simultaneously selecting optimum target means of multiple characteristics, such as variable and attribute quality characteristics. Chen and Chung (1996), and Duffuaa and Siddiqui (2003) studied the effects of measurement errors on the process target models. Kim, Cho, and Phillips (2000) and Rahim, Bhadury, and Al-Sultan (2002) proposed a method of simultaneously selecting the economical process mean and the variance for continuous production process.…”

Impact of measurement error on container inspection policies at port-of-entry

“…However, researchers have utilized two approaches in order to minimize the effect of measurement errors (Kim et al 2007). The first approach deals with the reduction of variability in measurements through the use of more precise measurement devices and/or better-trained operators (Chandra and Schall 1988;Chen and Chung 1996;Tang and Schneider 1988). The second approach is based on the use of guard bands in identifying "good" and "bad" items.…”
