Creator:: Wu, Chi-shih, 1962-
Abstract:: A modem Flexible Manufacturing Cell (FMC) usually consists of several Distributed Control Systems (DCS). Modeling and evaluating a manufacturing integrated system and then translating the models to operational programs are important steps in implementing a FMC. Monitoring and enhancing a FMC's manufacturing process quality is another critical issue. An embedded...

Abstract:: Part 1 in this series introduced the reader to Statistical Process Control, and Part 2 provided an overview of how and why SPC works. Part 3 begins the step-by-step process of building the practical skills necessary for hands-on implementation of SPC. This report discusses Pareto analysis, a tool we can...

Abstract:: The objective of this series is to help improve the competitiveness of Oregon’s wood products manufacturers. This can be achieved by fostering a companywide focus on and dedication to continuous quality improvement. W. Edwards Deming (1982) described the “chain reaction of quality.” 1. Quality is improved. 2. Costs decrease due...
