Optimal asymmetric tolerance design
Tập 32 - Trang 1127-1137 - 2000
An asymmetric tolerance design occurs when deviation (from the ideal target) of
a quality characteristic in one direction is more harmful than in the opposite
direction. Asymmetric tolerances are common in many manufacturing processes.
Traditionally, the designer of a manufactured component either would choose the
smaller tolerance as the tolerance for both sides of the ideal target, or would
set ...
Allocation of test times in multi-state systems for reliability growth testing
- 2002
This paper generalizes a reliability growth test allocation problem to
series–parallel multi-state systems. An algorithm, which determines the testing
time for each system element in order to maximize the entire system reliability
when total testing resources are limited, is suggested. The algorithm can handle
both repairable and non-repairable multi-state systems. The Crow/AMSAA
reliability growt...
Assessing multivariate process/product yield via discrete point approximation
- 1998
The assessment of multivariate yield is central to the robust design of
products/processes. Currently, yield is evaluated via Monte Carlo simulation.
However, it requires thousands of replications per simulation to achieve an
acceptably precise estimate of yield, this is often tedious and time consuming,
thereby rendering it unattractive as an evaluation tool. We propose a discrete
point approxima...
Negotiating price/delivery date in a stochastic manufacturing environment
Tập 31 - Trang 255-270 - 1999
We study a make-to-order manufacturing system consisting of several processing
centers that are subject to failures and repairs. Our objective is to build a
model that can be used as a tool for negotiating the delivery date and the price
of a certain upcoming order. The model takes into account the congestion level
of the shop floor at the time the order is placed. Based on the workload of the
pro...
A methodology for quantifying the effects of product development on cost and time
Tập 31 - Trang 365-378 - 1999
This paper demonstrates a methodology to quantify past product development
efforts in an attempt to better utilize past experiences. The methodology is
centered around conducting an observational study, using regression analysis, to
expose relationships between various aspects of past product development
efforts, including cost and time. The applicability of the methodology is
demonstrated by pres...
Pricing and ordering strategies in manufacturing and distribution alliances
Tập 29 - Trang 681-692 - 1997
This paper studies the effect of coordination in a manufacturing and
distribution system consisting of one manufacturer and one distributor. The
system operates to meet price-sensitive random demand with the objective of
maximizing expected profits of both the manufacturer and the distributor. The
coordinated pricing and production/ordering policies that maximize the expected
profits of the manufa...
Using in-line equipment condition and yield information for maintenance scheduling and dispatching in semiconductor wafer fabs
Tập 34 Số 2 - Trang 191-209 - 2002
Yield is one of the most important measures of manufacturing performance in the
semiconductor industry, and equipment condition plays a critical role in
determining yield. Researchers and practitioners alike have traditionally
treated the problems of equipment maintenance scheduling and production
dispatching independently, ignoring how equipment condition may affect different
product types or fam...
