Design optimization for the two-stage bivariate pattern recognition scheme
In manufacturing operations, unnatural process variation has become a major contributor to a poor quality product. Therefore, monitoring and diagnosis of variation is critical in quality control. Monitoring refers to the identification of process condition either it is running within in …

Intergration of control chart and pattern recognizer for bivariate quality control
Monitoring and diagnosis of mean shifts in manufacturing processes become more challenging when involving two or more correlated variables. Unfortunately, most of the existing multivariate statistical process control schemes are only effective in rapid detection but suffer high false alarm. This is …

Pattern recognition for manufacturing process variation using integrated statistical process control – artificial neural network
Variation in manufacturing process is known to be a major source of poor quality products and variation control is essential in quality improvement. In bivariate cases, which involve two correlated quality variables, the traditional statistical process control (SPC) charts are known to be effective …

Dynamic weighted idle time heuristic for flowshop scheduling
The constructive heuristic of Nawaz, Enscore and Ham (NEH) has been introduced in 1983 to solve flowshop scheduling. Many researchers have continued to improve the NEH by adding new steps and procedures to the existing algorithm. Thus, this study has developed a new heuristic known as Dynamic …

Identification of shift variation in bivariate process using pattern recognition technique
In quality control, the identification of unnatural variation in mean shifts is a challenge when dealing with two correlated quality characteristics (bivariate). Various schemes based on statistical process control pattern recognition (SPCPR) approach have been proposed to monitor the presence of …

Mechanical design of an automated vehicle driving system for drive cycle testing
This thesis describe the mechanical design process for an automated drive cycle testing system. Drive cycle is a graph containing series of vehicle speed data versus time. The main reason for drive cycle existence is to analyse the air pollution that is emitted by vehicle engines through combustion …
