in many applications the quality of a process or product is best characterized and summarized by a functional relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables. profile monitoring is used to understand and to check the stability of this relationship over time. therefore checking the capability of a profile seems essential. process capability indices have become very...

This analysis is to identify requirements for a Description Logic (DL) to reason about product descriptions and other information related to product development. The DL is intended to be used by software decision support systems to assist in verification of product satisfaction criteria. Decision support requires the capability to express assertions about products and assemble evidence to demon...

Profile is a relationship between a response variable and one or more independent variables which can describe quality of a process or a product. On the other hand, for an in-control process, capability indices are criteria for the process quality improvement that allows to meet customers’ expectations. Despite a considerable number of applications and monitoring methods already proposed for pr...

Process capability indices (PCIs) can be used as an effective tool for measuring product quality and process performance. In classic quality control there are some limitations which prevent a deep and flexible analysis because of the crisp definition of PCA‟s parameters. Fuzzy set theory can be used to add more flexibility to process capability analyses. In this study, the fuzzy X ba and MRx ba...

The main objective of this research is to contribute to innovation capability understanding. Furthermore, it is mainly focused in the way innovation capability is built and developed. Based on a multiple case study and interviews with managers, who are responsible for the new product development projects, in two innovative technologybased companies (ITBC) in the broadcasting sector, a collectio...

Process capability indices show the ability of a process to produce products according to the pre-specified requirements. Since final quality characteristics of a product are usually interrelated to its previous amounts in earlier workstations, one need to model and consider the relationship among them to assess the process ca-pability properly. Hence, conducting process capability analysis in ...
