Reliability analyses and risk assessment techniques in nonparametric applications
Title
Reliability analyses and risk assessment techniques in nonparametric applications.
Creator
Ross, Robert Thomas., Florida Atlantic University, Mazouz, Abdel Kader, College of Engineering and Computer Science, Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering
Abstract/Description
Reliability and risk assessment play an important role in product design, development and production. In mass production items, data is abundant and testing in product development and certification is usually thorough. In contrast, for nonparametric applications, product cost is high, there is limited production and the product is often used only once and discarded. In this type of manufacturing, data is usually limited because of the cost of testing. This makes reliability and risk...
Show moreReliability and risk assessment play an important role in product design, development and production. In mass production items, data is abundant and testing in product development and certification is usually thorough. In contrast, for nonparametric applications, product cost is high, there is limited production and the product is often used only once and discarded. In this type of manufacturing, data is usually limited because of the cost of testing. This makes reliability and risk assessments a difficult task. To circumvent this shortfall in data and its analysis, it is the intent of this paper to provide an alternative approach to models for reliability and risk analysis. This was accomplished by first surveying existing literature and models; then, approaching the problem with a set of block diagrams for each of the required analyses. Additionally, a full set of current models and failure analysis tools were also incorporated. With these tools the proposed methodology was demonstrated in case studies. These studies provided the validation for the methodology presented.

Product cycle theory and the television industry of the United States
Title
Product cycle theory and the television industry of the United States.
Creator
Chen, Wei., Florida Atlantic University, Scott, Gerald E., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description
Roymond Vernon (1966) and Seev Hirsch (1967) systematically put forth the product cycle approach in an effort to increase understanding of trade theory and introduce dynamics into trade. One of the model's major premises is that a country which has a strong competitive position in a particular industry at a given point in time may well lose this position when the industry enters into a new phase. This approach has been accepted as an established theory though it still remains inadequately...
Show moreRoymond Vernon (1966) and Seev Hirsch (1967) systematically put forth the product cycle approach in an effort to increase understanding of trade theory and introduce dynamics into trade. One of the model's major premises is that a country which has a strong competitive position in a particular industry at a given point in time may well lose this position when the industry enters into a new phase. This approach has been accepted as an established theory though it still remains inadequately tested. The television industry is the largest segment of the consumer electronics industry which has been frequently cited as an evidence to support the product cycle theory. The whole life of monochrome television in the United States was nicely explained by the product cycle theory. But it seems that the development of color television does not tell the same story.
