Consider the following examples:

A decision-making environment is
increasingly complex.

Consumer demand on the water supply in
southern Taiwan has significantly increased
in recent years owing to population and
industrial growth, as well as elevated living
standards.

Statistical approaches such as scored
methods are extensively used to optimize
the process parameters of ordered
categorical responses.

Process quality and delivery time have
received increasing emphasis in industry.

Process capability index is a highly
effective means of evaluating process
performance.

Enterprises trade with each other by
carefully considering business ratings to
reduce investment risks.

An increasing number of wafer fabs use a control
chart to detect assignable causes, making it
extremely difficult for engineers to effectively
control the wafer process.

Predicting the amount of residuals in ground water
contaminants has been extensively studied.

Owing to their lowest density among all metallic
structural materials, magnesium alloys are highly
promising for their diverse use in the automotive,
railway, aerospace, computer, communications
and consumer electronics industries.

Work problem : What is
the problem that you are trying either
to solve or more thoroughly
understand in the work proposal?

?


Conventional evaluation models are
concerned only with economic factors and
neglect factors that can not be evaluated by
money.

Although the reservoir supply in southern
Taiwan can satisfy the current water
demand, increasing demands will soon
surpass the reservoirs capabilities.
These methods inaccurately estimate the
dispersion effect, thereby confounding the
location effect and dispersion effect.

Conventional process capability
indices(PCIs) are unable not only to
objectively assess quality and delivery time,
but also to identify how PCIs and yield rate
are related.

Conventional process capability indices can
not measure a non-normal distribution
process accurately.

Conventional mathematic models have
difficulty in discriminating between
multiple ranks.

Conventional control charts are designed for
manufacturing systems with only one
source of variation, making it impossible to
control several independent sources of
variation.

These alloys have a low formability near
room temperature and are more expensive
than plastics, aluminum, steel and cast iron.

Work objective : What is
the objective of your work proposal?
?

Consider the following examples:

This work develops an optimal operating
model capable of choosing an effective
monitor well to adequately control a
groundwater system



This study develops a process capability
index that adopts the Clements and
Bootstrap methods to overcome such
obstacles

This work designs an optimization model
capable of effectively managing water
resources for current reservoirs in order to
decrease the probability of water shortages

This work constructs an efficient quality control
process capable of detecting assignable causes
concealed behind multiple characteristics and
multiple readings in a manufacturing system with
several sources of variation

This work develops a NAPL simulator model that
contains several parameters acquired by
experimental data

This work develops a flexible and accurate neural
network structure that applies artificial
intelligence in fuzzy theory to business ratings
and bankruptcy prediction
This study develops an efficient response surface
method capable of optimizing ordered categorical
data process parameters since setting the process
parameters in a continuous level leads to
optimization of the location and dispersion effects

This study develops an efficient hypothesis testing
procedure for PCIS, capable of assessing the
performance of operational cycle time (OCT) and
delivery time (DT) for VLSI

Methodology to achieve objective:
What are the steps in your project
to achieve the above objective?
?

Consider the following examples:


Natural gas bus brands are selected via the
model by performing cost effectiveness
analysis. Each criterion is also evaluated
under cost and effectiveness categories.
Two methodologies of multiple attribute
decision making (MADM), technique for
order preference by similarity to ideal
solution (TOPSIS) and analytic hierarchy
process (AHP), are then used to rank all
viable alternatives to bus systems from a
complete perspective.

This novel method with simplified
calculations in mean and standard deviation
of ordered categorical responses is used to
estimate the location and dispersion effects.
Additionally, regression models are used to
correlate the location effect in terms of the
controlled factor levels with the dispersion
effect in terms of the controlled factor levels.
An optimal level combination of process
parameters is also obtained using the dual
response surface methodology.
The PCIs of OCT and DT are defined, and
the UMVU (uniformly minimum variance)
estimators of the studied PCIs are derived
under the assumption of a normal
distribution. The above estimators are then
used to construct the one-to-one relationship
between the PCIs and conforming rate of
DT (or OCT). Finally, a hypothesis testing
procedure of PCIs is developed.

Voltage-current characteristics (VIC),
voltage-capacity characteristic (VCC) and
capacity-modulated spectra for barrier
structures are measured at various
irradiation doses, thus providing the
preliminary experimental data. Based on
that data, the control parameters are then
derived. Following Hall experiments to
consider bulk effects, the parametric
changes are analyzed and synthesized.

Crucial assumptions are presented. The
wave functions of exoelectron at the initial
and final states are then chosen. After the
matrix element of the transition is derived,
the parameters of the obtained energy
spectra are calculated.
