A Fault Classification System for Quality and Productivity Improvement in Continuous Manufacturing Processes

The manufacturing industry has recognized the need to improve the quality and productivity of its products and processes in order to increase its competitive position. In order to establish a high quality product companies install "quality systems" to improve product and process quality through intelligent manipulation and design of processes and resources over time. The design of quality control (QC) windows is a major step in the operation of an integrated quality system. A QC window covers a portion of the process where elements of the process transfer function are monitored and evaluated over time.
