Summary:
Improving the quality of a product and manufacturing processes at a low cost is an economic and technological challenge which quality engineers and researches must contend with. In general, the quality of products and their cost are the main concerns for manufactures. This is because improving quality is very crucial for staying competitive and improving the organization's market position. However, some difficulty of finding where the standard of good quality is still remains. Customers' satisfaction is a key for setting up the quality target. One possible solution is to develop control limits, which are the limits for indicating the area of nonconforming product on the basis of minimizing the total cost or loss to the customer as well as to the manufacturer. Therefore, the goal of this dissertation is to develop an effective tool to improve a high quality of product while maintaining a minimum cost.
