Economic Design of A Modified Variable Sample Size and Sampling Interval Chart
Mahadik, Shashibhushan B.; Shirke, Digambar T. - In: Stochastics and Quality Control 22 (2007) 2, pp. 273-293
Abstract A comprehensive economic cost function is derived for a modified variable sample size and sampling interval (MVSSI) chart. As a variable sample size and sampling interval, a variable sample size, a variable sampling interval, and a static charts are particular cases of an MVSSI chart,...

An Incorporation of the Fuzzy Greedy Search Heuristic With Evolutionary Approaches for Combinatorial Optimization in Operations Management
Sheibani, Kaveh - In: International Journal of Applied Evolutionary … 8 (2017) 2, pp. 58-72
Although greedy algorithms are important, nowadays it is well assumed that the solutions they obtain can be used as a starting point for more sophisticated methods. This paper describes an evolutionary approach which is based on genetic algorithms (GA). A constructive heuristic, so-called fuzzy...
