Ant colonies for structure optimisation in a failure prone series‐parallel production system
Nabil Nahas, Mustapha Nourelfath, Daoud Ait‐KadiThe purpose of this paper is to extend the optimal design problem of series manufacturing production lines to series‐parallel lines, where redundant machines and in‐process…
Optimal inspection and preventive maintenance policy for systems with self‐announcing and non‐self‐announcing failures
Anis Chelbi, Daoud Ait‐Kadi, Houda AlouiThe purpose of this study is to propose and model an inspection and preventive maintenance policy for randomly failing systems that alternate operating and idle periods according…
Optimal disassembly sequencing strategy using constraint programming approach
Xavier Zwingmann, Daoud Ait‐Kadi, Amadou Coulibaly, Bernard MutelThe purpose of this paper is to propose a framework to identify all the feasible disassembly sequences for a multi‐component product and to find an optimal disassembly sequence…
Integrating Six‐Sigma with other reliability improvement methods in equipment reliability and maintenance applications
Salman T. Al‐Mishari, Saad SulimanThe purpose of this paper is to address reported weaknesses with existing equipment reliability improvement methods through their integration into the Six‐Sigma DMAIC methodology.
Incorporating the cost of quality in supply chain design
Amar Ramudhin, Chaher Alzaman, Akif A. BulgakThis paper aims at exploring the challenges of introducing a model integrating the Cost of Quality (COQ) into the modeling of a supply chain network.
Process capability indices dedicated to bivariate non normal distributions
Philippe Castagliola, José‐Victor Garcia CastellanosProcess capability indices (PCI) are frequently used in order to measure the performance of production processes. In their 2005 article, Castagliola and Castellanos proposed a new…
