... objective is to establish a basis for creating a solid SC by offering a quantitative method to assess the probability of a risk occurring in the SC 27 Wu and Barnes (2018) IJAMT Modeling Using dynamic programming modelling, this study provides a set of models for designing agile SCs 28...

... the use of this method when combined with subjective evaluations to decide on improvement actions. Design/methodology/approach The method proposed is based on treating the numerical initial measurements as estimates of location parameters of probability distributions. This allows for objectively...

... testing applications where early failure times predominate. Based on sequential probability ratio tests (SPRT), sequential sampling/ cumulative sum (CUSUM) plans provide timely, statistically based decisions. Presents SPRT and CUSUM results for the inverse Gaussian process mean. Also presents a simple...

... distribution, the control limits are based on k times standard deviation which has been used previously, will cause a frequent false alarm, and cannot derive any reasonable lower control limits. Studies the use of probability limits to resolve these problems. Also discusses the use of geometric...

... for an integrated circuit is obtained by adding the individual failure rates. This amounts to ignoring the terms containing the product of probability of failure for different failure mechanisms. These terms can be ignored only if different failure mechanisms are mutually exclusive. Highlights this point, by using...

...K.P. Soman; K.B. Misra Describes a simple algorithm which has been developed for determining exact moments of top event failure probability from the moments of the basic events in a fault tree. This method requires neither Taylor series expansion of top event failure probability function nor its...

...Ravi S. Behara; Gwen F. Fontenot; Alicia Gresham Six sigma is a way to measure the probability of manufacturing a product or creating a service with zero defects. Presents a case study to illustrate how the concept of zero defects, measured by six sigma,can be applied to customer satisfaction...

... the application of IBM PC programs to determine the parameters of gamma distribution according to this method. © MCB UP Limited 1994 In modern probability theory the chi square distribution is the special case of gamma distribution. In this case the shape parameter is m =2×C, an optional real number...

...N. Tandon The usefulness of probability density and cross‐correlation of the vibration acceleration signal of rolling element bearings has been investigated. These measurements have been performed on ball bearings with and without simulated defects in their races after mounting them on a test rig...

...B. Kirwan; B. Martin; H. Rycraft; A. Smith Human error data in the form of human error probabilities should ideally form the corner‐stone of human reliability theory and practice. In the history of human reliability assessment, however, the collection and generation of valid and usable data have...

..., generators, heat exchangers and pumps are developed. Real life failure rate data for these devices are obtained from various sources and are used in their reliability analyses. Principal failure modes of these devices are identified and expressions for reliability, state probabilities, mean time to failure...
