In some production environments the defect rates are considerably low such that measurement of fraction of nonconforming items reaches parts per million level. In such environments, monitoring the number of conforming items between consecutive nonconforming items, namely the time between events (TBE) is often suggested. However, in the design of control charts for TBE monitoring a common practice is the assumptions of known process parameters. Nevertheless, in many applications the true values of the process parameters are not known. Their estimates should be determined from a sample obtained from the process at a time when it is expected to operate in a state of statistical control. Additional variability introduced through sampling may significantly effect the performance of a control chart. In this study, the effect of parameter estimation on the performance of Time Between Events Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (TBE EWMA) schemes is examined. Conditional performance is evaluated to show the effect of estimation. Marginal performance is analyzed in order to make recommendations on sample size requirements. Markov chain approach is used for evaluating the results.

Controlling high quality manufacturing processes: a robustness study of the lower-sided tbe ewma procedure
Pehlivan, Canan; Köksal, Gülser; Department of Industrial Engineering (2008)
In quality control applications, Time-Between-Events (TBE) type observations may be monitored by using Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) control charts. A widely accepted model for the TBE processes is the exponential distribution, and hence TBE EWMA charts are designed under this assumption. Nevertheless, practical applications do not always conform to the theory and it is common that the observations do not fit the exponential model. Therefore, control charts that are robust to departures from ...
Mining association rules for quality related data in an electronics company
Kılınç, Yasemin; Özdemirel, Yasemin; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009)
Quality has become a central concern as it has been observed that reducing defects will lower the cost of production. Hence, companies generate and store vast amounts of quality related data. Analysis of this data is critical in order to understand the quality problems and their causes, and to take preventive actions. In this thesis, we propose a methodology for this analysis based on one of the data mining techniques, association rules. The methodology is applied for quality related data of an electronics ...
Optimal pricing and production decisions in reusable container systems
Atamer, Büşra; Bakal, İsmail Serdar; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
In this study, we focus on pricing and production decisions in reusable container systems with stochastic demand. We consider a producer that sells a single product to the customers in reusable containers with two supply options: (i) brand-new containers, (ii) returned containers from customers. Customers purchasing the products may return the containers to the producer to receive a deposit price. The return quantity depends on both customer demand and the deposit price determined by the producer. Hence, th...
The general lot sizing and scheduling problem with sequence dependent changeovers
Koçlar, Ayşe; Süral, Haldun; Department of Industrial Engineering (2005)
In this study, we consider the General Lot Sizing and Scheduling Problem in single level capacitated environments with sequence dependent item changeovers. Process industries may be regarded as suitable application areas of the problem. The focus on capacity utilization and intensively time consuming changeovers necessitate the integration of lot sizing and sequencing decisions in the production plan. We present a mathematical model which captures the essence of cases in the most generic and realistic setti...
Managing production and lead time quotation with multiple demand classes
Sayın, Ece; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Department of Industrial Engineering (2010)
In this study, we investigate several facets of a due-date quotation problem and develop a model considering jointly due-date quotation, order acceptance and base-stock decisions in a hybrid make-to-stock (MTS) / make-to-order (MTO) and multi-class system with lead time sensitive Poisson demand and exponentially distributed service times. We seek to maximize profit considering lateness penalties and holding costs in the model. We consider three alternative due-date quotation policies each having different p...
