identification of a real time of a change in a process, when an out-of-control signal is present is significant. this may reduce costs of defective products as well as the time of exploring and fixing the cause of defects. another popular topic in the statistical process control (spc) is profile monitoring, where knowing the distribution of one or more quality characteristics may not be appropr...

This paper studies a series production system through the integration of the decisions associated with Maintenance Management (MM) and Statistical Process Control (SPC). Hence, the primary question of the paper can be stated as follows: In a series production system, how can the decisions of MM and SPC be coordinated? To this end, an integrated mathematical model of MM and SPC is developed. Usi...

To my father, my mother and Stephanie 1 for their love and support. Acknowledgment I I would like to express my deep appreciation and gratitude to my research advisor, Dr. Costas J. Spanos, for his support and guidance through my graduate studies an the latter 9 portion of my undergraduate studies. I also thank Dr. John A. Rice for being project report committee and for his valuable insights in...

These experiments were conducted to evaluate the feeding value of rice protein concentrate (RPC) in weaning pigs. In expt. I, a 5-week feeding trial was conducted with 126 pigs (L×Y×D; 21 d-old; 5.32±0.34 kg). Treatments were spray-dried plasma protein (SDPP; control), soy protein concentrate (SPC) and RPC (phase 1), and dried porcine soluble (DPS; control), SPC and RPC (phase 2). An ileal dige...

Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a necessary part of modern chemical processing. The software chosen to collect quality data and produce control charts will determine whether SPC is an awkward task or a smoothly operating part of the process. The right software must satisfy all basic chemical production SPC needs, while providing additional capabilities which make it the core of a well run ...

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to assess the safety, compliance and efficacy of amlodipine (Aml) and valsartan (Val) single-pill combination (SPC) in a large hypertensive patient population. STUDY DESIGN This is a non-interventional, observational, open label study conducted in 166 centers in Turkey with a 24-week follow-up period. RESULTS Of the 1184 enrolled patients, two-thirds were ...

Here we present the C++ library SPC (Speech Signal Processing Classes) as development tool for assembling of speech processing applications. SPC offers real-time processing, batch processing of large databases, visualization, and analysis of signals between processing steps. In SPC the data stream occurring in speech processing is partitioned in three different information flows: signal data, c...

Mitomycin C is one of the most effective chemotherapeutic agents for a wide spectrum of cancers, but its clinical use is still hindered by the mitomycin C (MMC) delivery systems. In this study, the MMC-loaded polymer-lipid hybrid nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by a single-step assembly (ACS Nano 2012, 6:4955 to 4965) of MMC-soybean phosphatidyhlcholine (SPC) complex (Mol. Pharmaceutics 2013,...

Monitoring the stability of the software process in the lower level companies is a challenging issue to software engineers. In this paper, SPC is applied to software metrics. Defect Density, Review Performance and Rework percentage and results after applying the SPC to various processes of software are discussed and analyzed, using control charts, the most sophisticated tools of SPC. The diffic...

The objective of this paper is to develop a framework that integrates two important concepts: Statistical process control (SPC) and engineering process control (EPC). Most of the literature researches on integrated SPC/EPC systems are focused into continuous process mainly with Algorithmic SPC. The integrated SPC/EPC systems in batch process control have not received the same degree of attentio...
