In the scope of a recently launched European Research Project, a team of experts from public laboratories and TSO is in charge of defining the concepts and methodological approaches to design and analyse the technical and economic feasibility of future HVDC grids. This work aims at identifying,...

Abstract 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,...

Abstract Imperfect processes experience fault productions over time due to specific causes. Integrating the statistical process control, maintenance policy, and economic production quantity has led to more favorable results for the imperfect processes in literature. When monitoring a process,...

The define-measure-analyze-improve-control (DMAIC) approach is a five-strata approach, namely DMAIC. This approach is the scientific approach for reducing the deviations and improving the capability levels of the manufacturing processes. The present work elaborates on DMAIC approach applied in...

The majority of classic SPC methodologies assume a steady-state (i.e., static) process behavior (i.e., the process mean and variance are constant) without the influence of the dynamic behavior (i.e., an intended or unintended shift in the process mean or variance). Traditional SPC has been...
