Abstract:

Modern quality management practices recommend the elimination of fixed numerical goals, in favour of programs designed to continuously reduce the process variability. The ultimate purpose is a process variance which is small enough to (i) render conformance to specifications essentially a non-issue; and (ii) leave uniformity of production as the main goal. However, in far too many industrial cases, conformance still presents a serious challenge. For these cases, the paper proposes several models aimed at balancing the two objectives. Industrial and numerical examples are used to illustrate the main highlights of the models.
