In this paper the reliability analysis of two new models generalizing the m-consecutive-k-out-of-n:F system is carried out using GERT:

Because of the increasing number of interrelated processes continuous monitoring and controlling of processes get more and more important. Time series constitute one possibility of modelling processes in order to determine an appropriate monitoring policy. One major problem when deriving a time...

A comprehensive economic cost function is derived for a modified variable sample size and sampling interval (MVSSI) chart. As a variable sample size and sampling interval, a variable sample size, a variable sampling interval, and a static charts are particular cases of an MVSSI chart, the model...

With the motivation of developing more realistic test plans, an attempt is made in this paper to construct reliability test plans for the components of series systems under the assumptions that

This paper deals with a Markov process used for stochastic modeling of the international banking supervision related to the Basel's accords. A quality index reflecting the performance of a bank is proposed, which is based on the asymptotic behavior of the Markov process.

The reliability of a system is often referred to as a quality index reflecting the capability of the system to complete the specified function within specified time in reasonably satisfactory manner under the specified conditions (including hard conditions: say, operating environments, input...

Statistical Process Control (SPC) has been established in many industries over the last decades. Particularly, the automotive industry including its suppliers of components is responsible for the spread of SPC supported by different norms. By means of process capability indices the fulfilment of...

Statistical process control procedures are usually implemented under the assumption that the observations from a process are independent over time. However, this assumption is often violated. Therefore, we propose a single Shewhart-type control chart for autocorrelated process by fitting a time...

Weibull distributions are popular models for quality and reliability. In this note, we investigate a distribution proposed by Bousquet et al. as an alternative to the Weibull distribution. We derive – for the first time – explicit and general expressions for the moments and the moment...

This paper introduces modified producer's risk and consumer's risk in the case of chain sampling plans obtained by modelling the defective probability p not as a constant, but as a random variable that follows a beta distribution.
