... is validated by direct application to a complex fault tree taken from the literature. Results obtained are compared with those available in the literature. Shows that the use of the algorithm (FTABMT) developed results in significant savings in both computer time and storage requirements. © MCB UP Limited...

..., is an alternative to the second: this is a bootstrapping procedure which is conceptually simple but requires considerable computer power for implementation. Method B also has advantages over the standard procedures whenever the points plotted are calculated from a random sample of data. In addition, unlike method...

... qualification, and to design a comprehensive computer system to overcome these shortcomings. The article begins with a discussion of the steps involved in a qualification study, pointing out that inefficiencies and inaccuracies often arise due to the heavy time and statistical burden placed on the study team...

...R.S. Maull The design of Quality Control (QC) systems is focused on, with particular attention to the integration of QC systems within Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) systems. A number of principles of good systems design are identified with each being detailed in turn and reference made...
