The classical method of process capability analysis necessarily assumes that collected data are independent; nonetheless, some processes such as biological and chemical processes are autocorrelated and violate the independency assumption. Many processes exhibit a certain degree of correlation and can be treated by autoregressive models among which the autoregressive model of order one (AR (1)) ...

The contribution presents a methodology to design a robust control loop in case of the saturated control input. The control system design is based on the polynomial approach resulting in the pole-placement problem to be solved. This task is addressed numerically by means of standard MATLAB functions to meet both the constraints on the control input and robustness of the resultant loop. New cont...

Inventory or material balance control is an important part of process control. In the literature, many rules have been proposed to help in designing such systems, but their justification is often unclear. The main contribution of this paper is to propose the more general local-consistency rule for evaluating inventory control systems. Consistency means that the steady-state mass balances (total...

The control configuration problem is discussed. A new algorithm is outlined which gives suggestion on feedback and feedforward control structure given a SISO control loop and some extra measurements. The algorithm is based on simple experiments and leads to a model of the process as a directed graph. The method is illustrated on a few common industrial control problems. Copyright c & 2000 IFAC

nowadays statistical control process plays an important role in quality control of products. so wide variety of methods are utilized to do so. but since the most percentage of available information in the discrete control charts are verbal terms, fuzzy and vague ,in most cases it is difficult for us to refine them into the quantitative data. thus in this article we are to change these verbal da...

Stripper columns are used for sweetening crude oil, and they must hold product hydrogen sulfide content as near the set points as possible in the faces of upsets. Since product    quality cannot be measured easily and economically online, the control of product quality is often achieved by maintaining a suitable tray temperature near its set point. Tray temperature control method, however, is n...

the classical control charts by using precise and specified data divide the production process into two groups: in-control or out of control, while the fuzzy sets with the definition continuous and cohesive membership functions and also using ambiguous and vague fuzzy numbers (triangular and trapezoid), it introduces different levels of decisions for the decision makers. in this paper, using th...
