The design of a product largely predetermines its cost and quality, and there are therefore limits to the benefits that can be obtained by the application of best practice in manufacturing and quality control. The paper introduces a general model of design for quality and describes a systematic quality evaluation methodology to aid the development of quality competitive products. The application and performance of the methodology are described and its integration with techniques in design for manufacture and assembly is discussed.

Geometrical Dimensions

In modern aerospace engineering design context one of the most important task is managing and simulate properly the effect of uncertainties on the response and performance of the system. In fact real engineering problems are characterised by random variations of material property, variation of loading conditions, manufacturing tolerances, etc. Different approaches have been developed by the research community to address uncertainties; while reliability methods primarily deal with probability of constraint satisfaction or violation, robust design methods have focused on the variation of system responses due to design parameters random variation. In this paper a robust design (RD) analysis of gas-turbine casing is performed in order to estimate how much uncertainties affect the life of the component. The RD analysis is performed in a multidisciplinary environment since the casing is subjected to thermo-mechanical loads. First thermal steady-state analysis has been performed changing randomly the boundary conditions (heat transfer coefficient and air temperature) and the temperature distribution on the casing is calculated. Then the structural analysis is performed changing geometrical dimensions on the base of defined tolerances and process capability. The result of the Monte Carlo analysis is a statistic distribution of the stress in the critical locations. This information is used to estimate the statistic distribution of the life in each critical location. The obtained result consents to evaluate the risk that some critical location exceeds the life margin limit.

This chapter, and the next two, considers foundational notions in value perception and construction. The chapters form a sequence, about three closely entwined components of value: identity, authority, and performance. They suggest that local modes of value may be understood in music through the performative articulation of specific processes of identity and authority negotiation. Those processes take place where sociality intersects with deeper forms of value agreement. This chapter is about Suryaniness, which it explains as a performed sense of identity in two ways: first, through the association of Suryani ethnic spirituality with Edessa (rather than Urfa) and its language; second, in relation to a sacredness in the perceived textual and melodic origins of chant. Significance in music perception and meaning construction is related here to questions of place and space, and to a process of authentication, which is the manifestation of an internally agreed sense of originality.

Ordering Strategies

The purpose of this study was to establish a hospital supply chain management (HSCM) model in which three kinds of drugs in the same class and with the same indications were used in creating an optimal robust design and adjustable ordering strategies to deal with a drug shortage. The main assumption was that although each doctor has his/her own prescription pattern, when there is a shortage of a particular drug, the doctor may choose a similar drug with the same indications as a replacement. Four steps were used to construct and analyze the HSCM model. The computation technology used included a simulation, a neural network (NN), and a genetic algorithm (GA). The mathematical methods of the simulation and the NN were used to construct a relationship between the factor levels and performance, while the GA was used to obtain the optimal combination of factor levels from the NN. A sensitivity analysis was also used to assess the change in the optimal factor levels. Adjustable ordering strategies were also developed to prevent drug shortages.
