The Cost

An integrated optimization framework for multi-cycle environmental stress screening tests and preventive maintenance scheduling is proposed. The proposed framework considers the improvement of product reliability through environmental stress screening tests and the associated screening cost, and the effect of preventive maintenance schedule on the maintenance cost as well. The environmental stress screening model is extended first to be applicable for multi-cycle environmental stress screening tests. The extended environmental stress screening model characterizes the product reliability function which survives the environmental stress screening test in terms of both the number of environmental stress screening cycles and the severity of screening stress. Afterwards, an integrated cost model is established by considering the cost of preventive maintenance, the cost of corrective maintenance, the cost of environmental stress screening test, and the cost due to failure of products in the environmental stress screening test. The application case study demonstrates the implementation procedures and the application effectiveness of the proposed approach. The application results show that, considering the cost due to environmental stress screening and the cost due to maintenance separately could lead to suboptimal decisions. For enterprises responsible for both environmental stress screening and maintenance, it is suggested to optimize the environmental stress screening test and maintenance scheduling jointly to minimize the overall cost.

Mass Personalization

AbstractMass-personalization (MP) presents an opportunity to meet diversifying customer needs in consumer products market with a near mass-production efficiency. Traditional product development methodologies fall short to guide design for MP and a dedicated systematic methodology is essential. The proposed approach bases on a dynamic product template that automatically adapts with user input and produces a reliable output. This paper presents the workflow towards mass-personalization of saxophone mouthpieces with focus on design automation.

This paper presents the procedures used and the major findings of a study which analyzed potential training problems associated with a conceptual weapon system. The training analysis was conducted on five generic weapon system alternatives, virtually every type of fielded and developing system which could be related to the conceptual system. The methodologial approach was designed to provide converging evidence for the reliability and validity of the overall results from up to four independent sources of information and data analysis techniques. The four approaches addressed, respectively, personnel resource requirements, training resource requirements, behavioral requirements of hardware-driven tasks, and soldier perceptions of training adequacy. The results of these analyses led to the construction of matrices which permitted comparisons among the five generic systems. These comparisons led, in turn, to a set of recommendations, based on training considerations alone, for a preferred conceptual system alternative.
