Effective use of quality function deployment and Kansei engineering for product planning with sensory customer requirements: A plain yogurt case

Product planning, as typically the first phase of quality function deployment, involves identifying customer requirements and translating them into technical requirements. Understanding true customer needs and setting targets for customer and technical requirements can be very difficult especially when sensory product characteristics such as taste, odor, and texture are concerned. In this study, effective approaches are developed and implemented for overcoming these difficulties in a plain yogurt case. A customer survey is designed using Kansei words and liking questions. Survey data are analyzed using hypothesis tests and building logistic regression models. Target setting processes are facilitated by optimizing these models.

Monitoring reliability for a three-parameter Weibull distribution
Sürücü, Barış (Elsevier BV, 2009-02-01)
Control charts are widely used to monitor production processes in the manufacturing industry and are also useful for monitoring reliability. A method to monitor reliability has recently been proposed when the distributions of inter-failure times are exponential and Weibull with known parameters. This method has also been extended to monitor the cumulative time elapsed between a fixed number of failures for the exponential distribution. In this paper, we consider a three-parameter Weibull distribution to mod...
Nonconvex optimization of desirability functions
Akteke-Ozturk, Basak; Köksal, Gülser; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Informa UK Limited, 2018-01-01)
Desirability functions (DFs) are commonly used in optimization of design parameters with multiple quality characteristic to obtain a good compromise among predicted response models obtained from experimental designs. Besides discussing multi-objective approaches for optimization of DFs, we present a brief review of literature about most commonly used Derringer and Suich type of DFs and others as well as their capabilities and limitations. Optimization of DFs of Derringer and Suich is a challenging problem. ...
Guidelines for automating Phase I of control charts by considering effects on Phase-II performance of individuals control chart
Atalay, Murat; TESTİK, MURAT CANER; Duran, Serhan; Weiss, Christian H. (Informa UK Limited, 2019-09-11)
With the advances in measurement technologies, today products and processes may have hundreds of variables that can be monitored. As the number of variables to be monitored in a process increases, a cumbersome task is the design of control charts, especially when one needs to estimate unknown process parameters. In Phase-I control chart implementations, a set of samples that are ideally from an in-control process is formed by iteratively eliminating/retaining potentially out-of-control samples and this is t...
Safety risk assessment using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) during planning and budgeting of construction projects
Aminbakhsh, Saman; Gunduz, Murat; Sönmez, Rifat (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-01)
Introduction: The inherent and unique risks on construction projects quite often present key challenges to contractors. Health and safety risks are among the most significant risks in construction projects since the construction industry is characterized by a relatively high injury and death rate compared to other industries. In construction project management, safety risk assessment is an important step toward identifying potential hazards and evaluating the risks associated with the hazards. Adequate prio...
Utilization of statistical process control (SPC) in emergent software organizations: Pitfalls and suggestions
Sargut, K. U.; Demirörs, Onur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2006-06-01)
Common wisdom in the domain of software engineering tells us that companies should be mature enough to apply Statistical Process Control (SPC) techniques. Since reaching high maturity levels (in CMM or similar models such as ISO 15504) usually takes 5-10 years, should software companies wait years to utilize Statistical Process Control techniques? To answer this question, we performed a case study of the application of SPC techniques using existing measurement data in an emergent software organization. Spec...
