Self Learning Strategies For Experimental Design And Response Surface Optimization, Adel Alaeddini
Self Learning Strategies For Experimental Design And Response Surface Optimization, Adel Alaeddini
Wayne State University Dissertations
Most preset RSM designs offer ease of implementation and good performance over a wide range of process and design optimization applications. These designs often lack the ability to adapt the design based on the characteristics of application and experimental space so as to reduce the number of experiments necessary. Hence, they are not cost effective for applications where the cost of experimentation is high or when the experimentation resources are limited. In this dissertation, we present a number of self-learning strategies for optimization of different types of response surfaces for industrial experiments with noise, high experimentation cost, and requiring high …

Novel Models And Algorithms For Systems Reliability Modeling And Optimization, Dingzhou Cao
Wayne State University Dissertations
Recent growth in the scale and complexity of products and technologies in the defense and other industries is challenging product development, realization, and sustainment costs. Uncontrolled costs and routine budget overruns are causing all parties involved to seek lean product development processes and treatment of reliability, availability, and maintainability of the system as a true "design parameter". To this effect, accurate estimation and management of the system reliability of a design during the "earliest stages" of new product development is not only critical for managing product development and manufacturing costs but also to control life cycle costs (LCC). In this …

An Integrated Decision Support Framework For Remanufacturing In The Automotive Industry, Akhilesh Kumar
Wayne State University Dissertations
In today's global economy, firms are seeking any and every opportunity to differentiate from competitors by reducing supply chain costs and adding value to end customers. One increasingly popular option, under growing consumer awareness and increasing legislation, is to reintegrate returned products into the supply chain to achieve economic benefits as well as improve sustainability. An important class of such "reverse" goods flows has to do with remanufacturing (reman), which refers to activities that restore returned products ("cores") or their major modules to operational condition for using in place of new product or distributing through other channels (e.g., spare parts). …
Dynamic Routing On Stochastic Time-Dependent Networks Using Real-Time Information, Ali R. Guner
Dynamic Routing On Stochastic Time-Dependent Networks Using Real-Time Information, Ali R. Guner
Wayne State University Dissertations
In just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing environments, on-time delivery is one of the key performance measures for dispatching and routing of freight vehicles. Both the travel time delay and its variability impact the efficiency of JIT logistics operations, that are becoming more and more common in many industries, and in particular, the automotive industry. In this dissertation, we first propose a framework for dynamic routing of a single vehicle on a stochastic time dependent transportation network using real-time information from Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Then, we consider milk-run deliveries with several pickup and delivery destinations subject to time windows under same network …
Hazard Rate Models For Early Warranty Issue Detection Using Upstream Supply Chain Information, Chongwen Zhou
Hazard Rate Models For Early Warranty Issue Detection Using Upstream Supply Chain Information, Chongwen Zhou
Wayne State University Dissertations
This research presents a statistical methodology to construct an early automotive warranty issue detection model based on upstream supply chain information. This is contrary to extant methods that are mostly reactive and only rely on data available from the OEMs (original equipment manufacturers). For any upstream supply chain information with direct history from warranty claims, the research proposes hazard rate models to link upstream supply chain information as explanatory covariates for early detection of warranty issues. For any upstream supply chain information without direct warranty claims history, we introduce Bayesian hazard rate models to account for uncertainties of the explanatory …
